Ten Things to Accomplish By Years End

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

I have decided that what I really need in my life right now is a game plan. I need to start figuring out what I want in life and how I am going to get there.

Internal Conflict #1

Internal Conflict - gay catholcAs I sit here watching Goal 2 and talking to my friend Mikey online, I am struggling to get the words out that I would like to express in this blog posting.

He didn’t say what the focus point of this class was, but he did mention that after attending it, he has felt more anxeity and depression then he was feeling. The reason he relates to this are several topics they discussed in this class, which were masturbation and acting on homosexuality.  He asked if I had any idea of why his panic attacks and depression has increased due to this.I did try to respond to his email, but for some reason it came back as being undelivable. So I have decided to post the email here in hopes that he will come back to my blog and read it and/or someone else that is dealing with a similar problem may gain something from it. Here is my response:
