It has been a while since I have wrote anything really person on my blog. This was something I noticed the other day. It almost seems to me that I forgot one of the main reasons I started blogging which was to help me with expressing myself better. If you were to meet me in person, you would see how difficult it is for me to deal with feelings. I don’t show them very often. I have gotten better at it than I used too. For example, a friend stopped by today to get a CD of music for her aunt’s funeral. She noticed I had the bank (Captain America) she got me for Christmas sitting on my dresser. She said “My mom said she never seen you express that much emotions before, he must have really liked the bank”. It is true that I am a big fan of Captain America, it is also true that I really don’t show my emotions. It isn’t that I don’t feel them; it’s just that I don’t allow them to come out.

Poverty in America Awareness Month
January 18th, 2010
I recently saw on the USCCB website that this month is Poverty in America Awareness Month. I would just like to ask anyone that is capable to make some form of donation to a local charity that helps the poor. If you are unable to make a finical contribution to an organization, please visit my blog posting websites that are changing the world and take the time to help the poor. All the websites offer free ways for you to assist the poor, not just in the US, but all around the world. Also please pray for those that are hungry, without shelter, and for those that are in worst situations then us.

January 11th, 2010“Forgiveness is above all a personal choice, a decision of the heart to go against the natural instinct to pay back evil with evil.” Pope John Paul II
I have writing about this topic in the past on the posting entitled “Why Must the Good Die Young?”. But I do feel it is a very important topic to cover once again. One of the greatest gifts God has giving us is the ability to forgive others for doing us wrong. As Pope John Paul II said, forgiveness is something we choice to do, it is of our free will, and it is a decision of the heart. Forgiveness helps to free us from any past hurts and injuries that we have received during our lives.
