It’s been kind of a hectic week in my life, I am at a crossroads, but I only have two paths to take, the left or the right, on the left is my life as it is, going very well, a good job that I love, some new friends and colleagues, as well as keeping in touch with some old friends. I am just getting back in school and finally going to finish my degree, and the left path looks very good. On the right, is a somewhat treacherous path, littered with holes and various obsticales. I don’t want to go down that path for fear that my life will take a 180 degree turn to the dark days of yore.

I am reminded of the parable of the prodigal son in the choice I have to make, I can take it easy and stay at home and live well, or I can take my money and run so to say. In some ways, I have already lived the life of the son who took his inheritance and went out into the world and learned that maybe he wasn’t ready to leave the nest, but when he did come home he was welcomed with open arms from his father.

In broadening my spiritual life over the past year, I have learned that, and you could call this the biggest cliché of them all, “God has a plan for everyone”. I didn’t believe that, or I did, but I was roayally pissed of at him for not showing me the way. I was angry, depressed, confused and abusive to myself. It wasn’t until this time last year a great person helped me climb out of that hole and made me realize that there was more out there, and that God did truly have a plan for me.

So looking back over the past year, I have grown in faith, and personally. I have to say to anyone who may be thinking that life isn’t worth it, or that there is no God, or that religion is pointless, please get in touch with me and I would be glad to get you in touch with the people who helped me. I can literally say that they saved my life. I am not a religious freak, and don’t go crusading for Jesus, in fact I was one of those people who truly believed that God was just an imaginary friend for adults, until I saw for myself what he has done for me in my life.

So back to the paths, the left or the right, I have a big decision to make, but I truly think it will take awhile to make it.

So I end this post with a question to you…Have you seen Indy 4 yet? If not go see it, and don’t believe what the critics say.

Peace…
