sunday...

went to church last night.... I was late having forgotten and started wondering why am I doing this.... driving there it finally occurred it was more or less force of habit with not much hope or faith involved....
that seemed okay to me... sometimes force of habit or habit itself can pull you through the times of no hope or faith....
wasn't really expecting much if anything... yet well you go cause you've gone... anyway walked through the doors about 20 minutes late and the sermon hadn't even started which was odd and the sound system wasn't turned on which was odd to... and some of the usual crowd of homeless and ill people weren't there.... there were a few kids and mostly older folks and single males.... any way turns out some one very close to some of the folks had passed on so it was a bit of a wake for some but then the sermon.... the prodical son.... the odd thing then was it was the pastor kind of saying churches sort of fail because they don't want to let the sinners in. Churches he illuded are just sometimes for preaching to the choir and they don't want the deadbeats the prostitutes the paroles the etc.... wow... I thought and there he was ..... there i felt the presences of christ.... it was like ..... christ didn't come into the church till the sinners were allowed in... interesting....yet what was this presence I felt there....
a scientist would say well what ever but it was just a bit of a rush and some emotions I suppose .... are emotions a presence? well lets not look a gift horse in the month....
was christ really there.... funny he rarely can be found in most churches Ive been to.... to many bigots crowd him out....
but well I'll vouch I guess that he was at that church last night if only for a moment or two....

oh and there was this as well though I don't quite grok it...
he the minister said... well I not sure who or what scripture he was quoting but he said Pastor ? yikes can't recall his name anyway he said "Forgiveness is Greater than any Law"....???? hmmmmm not sure about that one.... sort of oxymoronish or even antinomous.... "forgiveness is greater than any law" ??? well I'll give it some thought...

"True forgiveness is greater than any law because forgiveness and true forgiveness
is and are LOVE."
Pastor of Good Shep, (Red Deer Alberta) and Jesus (Israel)" March 2007

The greatest of these is love.

well is that true? Is that why?

Actually spirit is everywhere. Spirit is, of course, an analogue. The lating word 'Spiritus" means simpky 'wind.' From that an analogy was drawn between the invisible and visible multiverses...

The spirit of Christ is an idea. You are the one who sets the idea into motion. So, thanks for your observations. Good luck...

18 Mar 2007 @ 17:23 by swanny : extrapolation
well I suppose its an extrapolation... there is a word for that actually but my mind is a bit of mess at the moment.... I was trying to resolve the inconsistency here....it has left me in a state of quasi- limbo or limbo of children... although I don't recall it I'm told I was baptized... so a batized state of limbo of children... well what ever...

my my my what a hack I am....

well thats what you get for...????
being a confirmed romantic.
