So, over
the past month or two I have been doing a lot of researching into Mormonism. I
have read some of The Book of Mormon
as well as some pamphlets. I’ve also been meeting with a couple of
missionaries. Sadly, one of them is ending his missionary work this week. So, I
will be meeting a new missionary at my next meeting. And, even as this path
calls to me as well as makes sense to me. I won’t say this is the one true
path. I’ve always been a believer in multiple paths to heaven.
And, that
everyone has to walk their own path of learning and enlightenment to get there.
Slowly I am finding my path, but it feels like it takes forever to find it
sometimes. Other times it seems right there within my grasp. I think I just
have to just keep taking one step forward at a time and keep learning one day
at a time to see what is in store for me. I know it is not meant to be a short
journey for me, but one spent many years walking along as well as reading and
studying.
I think some
is meant to come easily to me while some I have to work for. Somedays I feel
like I take three steps forward and two steps back. But, I keep working at it,
because I know I will get there eventually. I know I am protected and watched
over, but for what reason I know not yet. But, I keep working to make it worth
it each day. And somedays like today I
just feel like an old soul that needs Jazz to think straight. It also has a tendency to make my hands dance
over the keyboard. Not sure why it just does.
Maybe it is
just one of those writer things that pertains to me. After all every writer has
a certain type of music that works for them it seems. As well as certain other
quarks about them that help them work the best. Just something I have noticed
over the years. No two writers have the exact same quarks either. Each is
unique in their rituals for writing. Some will have some in common but never
the exact same recipe for it.
It is the
same in spiritual practices. Even with religion. Every worshipper will have
their own unique way of doing it. We as the human race are unique in that and
that is what makes our relationship with our creator so special. The creator
doesn’t want a bunch of mindless zombies, what s/he wants is enlightened
worshippers that think and act for themselves while still being loyal to them. Not
out of fear but out of love. Pope Francis sets a good example of this for the
people.
He also
sets a good example of how to treat people n general. As well as trying to set
the Catholic Church back on the right path I think. Though there is a lot of
work still to be done there. But, I think the Catholic Church can be set back
on the right path. In areas like taking care of the poor and sick and not
judging where some members have gotten away from that practice not judging the
whole church by any means. And, this is just my opinion. I have many catholic
friends that I hold in the deepest respect for the example they set for their
communities.
I’ve
rambled on enough for one day and might even get some hate mail now though.
Feel free to leave questions and comments below though. And, please share with
your friends and family. As for me I am going to do some reading and maybe a
bit more writing with how nimble my fingers feel. *Tips his hat and walks out
the door. *
