Mass
The Mass readings this weekend are very interesting. Here is the first reading:
1 Kings 19:9a, 11-13a
At the mountain of God, Horeb,
Elijah came to a cave where he took shelter.
Then the LORD said to him,
“Go outside and stand on the mountain before the LORD;
the LORD will be passing by.”
A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains
and crushing rocks before the LORD—
but the LORD was not in the wind.
After the wind there was an earthquake—
but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
After the earthquake there was fire—
but the LORD was not in the fire.
After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound.
When he heard this,
Elijah hid his face in his cloak
and went and stood at the entrance of the cave.
It makes me wonder what I may be missing out on in my own life. What am I not hearing that I should be listening to in order to help me be the best person I can hope to be. I do feel that I *try* to be a good person and to do the right things, but I so very often feel as if I am a pitiful, neglectful, wretched failure in all ways in life. What is it that I cannot (or at least *do not*) see that I should do? Do I hide from the role I should have in life?

I don't come here to read shit from a stupid fucking bible.
I don't see how anyone of intelligence can even tolerate reading them, they insult my intelligence and spirit.
Holy crap, after reading your first comment, anything I say here has to be an improvement....
I don't know you well enough to know what or most likely IF you are missing something in this life but I have to say, it seems to me that you are a good man, caring, and that you have a service type of job...
what more could you want to do for God? In my experience, if you really want to know, just listen. He will tell you.
Happy Monday, Ugh. :)
