2 Things this Morning

1.) I hate being sick. So rarely is it an issue for me that when these unfortunate events happen it really kicks me in the ribs. I am on the trailing edge of this cold though. I can’t wait to be running again as it has been a week now. I feel bloated and I have a headache. Maybe I am just PMSing *duck*
2.) I hearby state that I will try my hardest to join in the joyous Sacrament of Confession once a week now. As many of my close friends know, I struggle with this sacrament. Struggle is an understatement to be honest. I tried my hardest to negate the teaching. In my theologian brain I decided that I could not support it. The problem was that “I” couldn’t support it. No where did I say the “Bible” didn’t support it. That was the big problem. It was simple math really. Let me try to explain:

A=Nick belives in Christ
B=Christ’s teachings are outlined in the Bible
C=The Bible is God’s loving law

So…

If A=B and B=C then A=C

Which means that if I profess Christ as my Savoir. I believe the Bible is the Lord’s teachings. Then I must follow the Bible however uncomfy or painful it is at times. I plan on writing up an Apologetics response to confession because if there was anyone who tried to squirm their way out of it, that was me. I have a good perspective on it God Bless!

Day 3

I am sorry for the delay in posting. If there is one thing I did get from the trip it was sick. I am sicker than a dog and feeling like crud. The last day went really well. We finished up our last reviews of the class and material and proceeded to mass. The best part of this day was Amy being confirmed in our presence. What a wonderful blessing to witness her coming into the communion of the Church for the first time!

To celebrate her big day we went out to a little mexican resturant in Carlsbad. She then took Kris and I to the beach in town there.
