Premium Member Life In General

My life these days just can't be beat
To be honest it's quite the treat

Blossom's blooming upon the tree
Hummingbirds feeding peacefully

Blue jays bouncing across the yard
They're just little birds playing hard 

The mountains truly seem to glow
All covered white with winters snow

I treasure life with its embrace
My soul is now a peaceful place

My mind is on quite a mission
Out to better its position

To me this life is like a dream
My love flows like a mountain stream

So crystal clear and full of life
I serve my Lord and love my wife

Write my rhymes for the world to see
Beauty of life's simplicity

I'm a man that has found his plight
By serving God and shinning bright

In general it is going well
That's in as far as I can tell

Premium Member The Sacraments In General

A Sacrament is an outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace

There are 7 Sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist or Communion, Penance or Confession, Extreme Unction or Anointing of the sick, Holy Orders and Holy Matrimony

The Sacraments have the power of giving grace from the merits of Jesus Christ

The Sacraments have the power of giving grace from the merits of Jesus Christ

Some of the sacraments give sanctifying grace and others increase it in our souls

The Sacraments that give sanctifying grace are Baptism and Penance or Confession and they are called the Sacraments of the dead

Baptism and Penance or Confession are called Sacraments of the dead because they take away sin, which is the death of the soul and give grace which is its life.

The Sacraments that increase sanctifying grace in our soul are: Confirmation, Holy Eucharist or Communion, Extreme Unction or Anointing of the sick, Holy Orders, and Holy Matrimony and they are called Sacraments of the living

Confirmation, Holy Eucharist or Communion, Extreme Unction or Anointing of the sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony are called Sacraments of the living, because those who receive them worthily are already living the life of grace

He who receives the Sacrament of the living in mortal sin commits a sacrilege, which is a great sin, because it is an abuse of sacred thing
Besides sanctifying grace the Sacraments give another grace, called sacramental

Sacramental grace is special help which God gives, to attain the end for which He instituted each Sacrament.
The Sacrament always give grace, if we receive them with the right dispositions

We can receive Sacraments more than once, except Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Orders

We cannot receive Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Orders more than once because they imprint a character in the soul

The character which these sacraments imprint the soul is a spiritual mark which lives forever

This character remains in the soul even after death: for the honor and glory of those who are saved; for the shame and punishment of those who are lost

Did you know?
Life comes at you like a sword
Slashing, Crashing, Thrashing, Slice
Heads t'wards you without a word.

Life In General

Life is full of decisions, sometimes hard to make

Life is full of choices, sometimes right or wrong

Life is full of challenges, sometimes very difficult

Life is full of lessons at times very useful

For the decisions we make we're not always sure

As for choices just happens to be the path we choose to take

Challenges help us become strong and experience more

Lessons we need at times to learn to realize

For everything in life has its purpose

And its purpose for where everything stands

For without it what do we really have?

Life In General

isn't it funny how life seems to go
watching life go like its a show

singing of birds and waving of trees
to prove life is not as bad as it seems

the good the bad pleasure and pain
it is enough to surely drive you insane

why can't life be like a fairytale
with no doubt in your mind that you will fail

who can believe it can go so fast
soon the future will become the past

Life In General

Isn’t life a funny thing? Sometimes, it’s like you’re on top of the world; nothing 
can faze you. But then, other times, its like you’re lying in a pit on the side of a 
road in the desert or something. When you have those good times, you don’t ever 
even think that in two weeks, or even two hours, you could be lying in that pit. All 
you can think about is the fact that you’re on top of the world, and that it’s very 
possibly the best feeling ever. But then, when you finally fall (or get pushed) into 
that pit, you wonder what happened. You were just on top a minute ago, and now, 
here you are, on the bottom again, wondering what in the world happened to you. 
But I guess there’s really nothing we can do about it. I mean, nobody ever 
promised us that we’d be on top forever. When its happening to you, you think 
that nobody else ever has problems, and it always looks as though they’re all on 
top while you’re lying in that pit. But then, if you look around, you’ll realize that it’s 
not just you, it’s everyone. We all go through it, and nobody’s on the top forever. 
So I guess we all just have to live for those times when it’s our turn to be on top, 
when it’s our turn to win. We just need to keep our heads held high, and even 
when were on the bottom, if we act like were on top, perhaps well get there 
sooner.

Regarding Love Letters In General

I find I am in love again.
Is it you – is it they – is it them?

That would be well & good.
God told me to mail a love letter to myself.
Riddle me that?
