Blogs about: Love

“Te amo!” “Ich liebe dich!” “I love you!” Love, albeit fickle and inexplicable, is a many splendored thing. The inspiration for many a song, many a poem and many a letter, love comes in endless forms. Passionate and a bit wild. Calm and enduring. Unrequited. We like it in all its many forms. No wait, we love it in all its many forms.

Everybody Deserves A Broken Heart

Pretty Feet, Pop Toe

That which doesn't kill you.. makes for a lovely collage! I haven’t done much in the past week to generate much inspirational hatred or annoyance and so my scathing humour is offering up little in the way of wryly observed witterings based on the cretins I’ve met. Fear not for I still have plenty to say about life in general, only this week I’m not aiming to make you laugh, I’m aiming to impart some sage advice on a subject I usually avoid like a plague ridden crack den; Love, or more specifically, that which happens when love goes wrong. Heartbreak. Every one of us spends our every waking moment (and a few sleeping ones) hoping to find and hold on to never-ending love. We are programmed to crave it like Pavlov’s dog craves a spittoon and so it never occurs to us that actually, the opposite of love may be something desirable and beneficial to us in the long run. You’re going to think me a bitter, twisted witch (more so than usual) when I say that I hope each and every one of you, at le

Single Again

I’m single…again. And if you’ve been reading this space for long, you’re probably not too shocked by that bit of news. I have, after all, had more than my fair share of failed relationships, and now another has been added to the masses. You may not be shocked—but I am. I think that’s what happens when you fall so crazy stupid in love only to have things implode in your face. It’s frustrating and it’s dumb (eloquence FTW). I hate that it had to end. I hate that I had to break up with the woman I loved simply because I couldn’t be what she needed. I hate that I can’t have her for forever and ever. And most of all, I hate that I can’t not write about it. It’s what I do. It’s how I cope. So what does this mean for the man who’s been pithily described as “the Carrie Bradshaw of Christian blogging” (I hate you, Brittny)? Am I still allowed to address the ins and outs of relationships for today’s misinformed youth and young adults even though I’ve garnered yet another failed union

Our Pearl

aurorasawakening

I pick up the beautiful fresh water pearl we just found. Crowds of people and flashing cameras surround us. You get down on one knee and take the pearl gently from my hands. “Marry me. I love you,” you say with a smile on your face. I don’t know what to say. I am filled with a happiness I’ve Been seeking for years. As tears form in my bright blue eyes I nod my head. You pick me up, kiss me, and spin me around. A loud applause is barely audible to me because I’m so far Gone from this place. It’s just you and me. Before I know it, I’m in the white gown of my dreams. I take a step forward, longing to be next to my groom. I open my eyes and see a dark room. It was only just a dream.

Strength is where the Heart Is

WondreWoman

It’s been a rough couple of months, in which time I feel like I have lost grip of the important people in my life, but also gained an independence that comes with letting go. It’s difficult to say that letting someone free or asking them to leave is the right thing to do, but sometimes it’s the only thing to do. I love my family so much, and there aren’t many people that comprise of it, but those that do have my whole devotion. So when I see them pushing away or falling into the same self destructive patterns, I have to step back. I cannot save them. I cannot push them. I can only offer my help and my love and let them choose their path. Sometimes that path is a lonely one, and sometimes it is necessary to let the ones you love walk the path to redemption without you. Changing who you are is a very difficult thing to do, and I have fallen back on hard habits. I see myself relapsing, but I also see myself making a breakthrough in the midst of that. I work on s

LifeAfterCaregiving

We went to Bonham Wednesday so David could get his annual check-up at the VA facility. It’s a 150 miles round trip, but it’s a lot easier than driving to Dallas and fighting the traffic. Bonham is almost ten times bigger than Emory, but it still has a small town feel. Residents, especially the teenagers, probably feel like there’s nothing to do there, but there are lots of characters and lots of stories. David was scheduled for lab work, a chest x-ray, and an ECG between 12:30 and 1:30. He didn’t want to fast that long, so we arrived mid-morning. Unlike our experiences in Tampa, the waiting rooms were sparsely populated. The lab techs were undisturbed by David’s early arrival, and within 30 minutes, he was finished with his tests. His appointment with the doctor wasn’t until 2:00, and she was busier than the techs, so we had several hours to kill. Following the advice of the lady in the ECG lab, we headed for the T N T Café. It was reputed to be a great place to eat, plus they served b

My Stylistic Life

Clarity 2

Authentic Catholicism

It would seem I got a bit of a buzz over my Clarity article, for all the wrong reasons, but you must roll with what comes. So here’s the question that I don’t think I could even begin to answer with any real experience, so perhaps those who are reverts could shed some light. My salvation Journey was far from sacramental. It was an ask-Jesus-in-my-heart sort of deal at the ripe age of 5 or 6. I had an affection for Him, but by the time I hit my teens I was knee deep in a flood of depravity. At twenty, the prodigal returned to the loving Father, and ten years later I made my way to Rome. I fail to understand the nature of being in the fullness of the faith–receiving sacramental Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation–are these sacraments effectual or not? Was not even a mustard seed of faith present during all the graces received? Many consumed the Lamb countless times before making the break. You were born again in baptism, and I hardly believe that mortal sin was pres

Speaking the Truth in Hate

The Parallax Perspective

Two videos have gone viral showing Christians directing some shockingly hateful language towards the homosexual community. The first emerged about a week ago. On May 13, 2012, Pastor Charles Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church (Maiden, NC) joked in a sermon that gays and lesbians should die in what sounds like concentration camps. Seriously, this is his Mother’s Day message! Thank you mothers for bringing children into the world, and speaking of motherhood, it would be really funny if we put all the gays and lesbians behind an electric fence so they would die out because they can’t reproduce. Such talk is horrifyingly inappropriate anytime, but to preach such venom on Mother’s Day marks a ministry terribly imbalanced against one particular sin. A more recent video has surfaced of a very young boy singing a shocking anti-gay rant at a Pentecostal church in Greensburg, Indiana. “I know that the Bible’s right, somebody’s wrong, Romans 1 and 27, ain’t no homo gonna m

Day 2-Fresh Start Challenge

lohnniecakes

It’s day two of the Fresh Start challenge and I am super excited!! Hopefully, you have given much thought to everything that I shared with you yesterday and are ready to move forward. And hopefully you have started working on your list of goals, dreams and aspirations. You can always go back and change you goals or add to it at anytime, so don’t think that the list will always stay the same. By altering your list, it shows that you are growing and changing. No matter what your goals are, they are very special. Why? Because they belong to you! And because they are what is most important to you. Otherwise, why would it be a goal or dream? You wouldn’t want something if it wasn’t special to you or something that you aspire to have. So why sell yourself short? Why not work towards your dreams? Often we want something but we don’t follow through or we think that we can’t have it. Believing in your abilities is a part of self-love and plays an important ro

Seasons Change, and Change...

Unique Ties Conceived out of violence. Born out of turmoil Blessed somehow with an aura of contentment always forgetting to ask for too much from me He was the one asking for my permission to play. Tender hearted, never doing any wrong it seemed Then it came time for him to be a young teen. He didn’t take long to see that he had to make a change So, his heart he turned to stone somehow it seemed At first I thought it was just a front for the crowd At times he and I had those moments of intimacy like times I overheard him talk of things not good. I wouldn’t rush in and yell I always cried instead It was hard for me to know that he put himself in harm I would beg, send him information on the danger How he made me proud and I couldn’t live without him That would be a time when he would shed tears and cry He would tell me he was sorry and he wouldn’t be lying as he promised to never do it again way back then. I don’t know when was the point that caused cha

“Anyways, with medicine there’s a time and a place for everything. It only comes around once. You have to get it at the right time.” —- Cecilia Mitchell, MOHAWK The old ones say two things must be present for a miracle to take place. One, the right time. Two, the right place. This is why we need to honor our ceremonies. ceremonies are done in an order. This order is applied to open a “door” to the right time and place of the medicine. This door opens to the Spiritual World. The Spiritual World is available to us at the right time and the right place. My Creator, let me be patient today so the timing is right. Don Coyhis

12 Reasons to Spend One Hour with Jesus at Adoration

St. Raphael's Life Teen

1. Jesus needs you. 2. Jesus waits for you in this Sacrament of Love (Adoration) 3. Jesus is counting on you because the Eucharist is the center of life. 4. Your hour with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament will repair for evils in the world and bring about peace on earth. 5. Day and night Jesus dwells in the Blessed Sacrament because YOU are the most important person in the world to Him! 6. Jesus wants you to do more than go to Mass on Sunday. 7. You grow spiritually with each moment you spend with Jesus! 8. The best time you spend on earth is with Jesus, your Best Friend, in the Blessed Sacrament. 9. Just as you can be exposed to the sun without receiving its rays, neither can you come to Jesus exposed in the Blessed Sacrament without receiving the Divine rays of His Grace, His Love, His Peace. 10. If Jesus were actually visible in church, everyone would run to welcome Him, but He remains hidden in the Sacred Host under the appearance of Bread, because He is calling us to faith

Own worst enemy?

goodbyegoodnightforgood

I feel like my own worst enemy at the moment. I think I may be too clingy to my crush or am I simply over analysing? :/ I think I’ll just be really passive with her for a while and then see how it goes. That will give her room to breathe and me room to get my head straight.
