Thanks - Challenges - Conflict
I want to thank everyone who drops by to check out my blog, and I want to apologize for not blogging more frequently. I will focus harder and try to update at least once every two weeks. There's a lot in my head that wants out, and when I have gotten things under control, then they will be unleashed upon you. Should be an interesting wait to see what comes out next.

Over the last two weeks I have had the chance to speak with some friends in Europe. One lives in Serbia and the other in Croatia. My Croatian friend I met on a Christian singles dating site. My Serbian friend I met on FaceBook. It was good talking with them.

I am a lifetime member of xanga, have been since my days in South Korea. It bothers me that I don't come on here more often writing. I am not tired of xanga. I would post more if I could get xanga's text fields to work on my iPod Touch. I don't like being limited to having to be in a PC cafe when I want to enter a new post. I will have to check things out later tonight to see if there have been some changes to xanga and how it works in Safari.

There are some challenges I am being called to make. No problem. However, the vast majority of people in the world would never understand what those challenges mean, let alone understand why I need to accept them, let alone believe in who is making those challenges. When I am certain of this, and perhaps I am in denial that I am certain that this is what I must do, then I will take the next step.
This past February14 will be the last time I wish anyone a Happy Valentine's Day. As it is not a holiday, I will wear the green to celebrate my Irish heritage on St. Patrick's Day, and look forward to it. I am glad that this year it will be celebrated on Sabbath. I am scheduled to speak at my church on that day. Beyond that, I have not much use for other holidays. Instead of Easter, I am looking forward to Passover. I want to explore it more for spiritual growth, as it has so much to teach Christians about what Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was all about. I need to learn how to be a better living sacrifice. Later this year, I want to look more closely at the Feast of Tabernacles, as well, as it has something of particular importance regarding the last day events of Daniel and Revelation. Not every Christian will understand the implications. Same goes with the Jewish New Year.
No, I am not converting to Judaism. I do, however, wish to explore more completely the meaning behind these important holy days that God gave to the human race through the Hebrews. It is something I need to do.

It's been a while since I posted pictures and poetry here. My head has been locked up for a long time. A lack of discipline on my part in a number of areas has not helped, and neither has the lack of trust in my instinct. Too much internal conflict is going on in my head, and it doesn't shake off very well. More later.

So good to hear from you!
Good luck in your exploration of your faith! I find that, doing so can be incredibly refreshing.

We celebrate passover at my church, and I've been feeling like I should begin celebrating more of the Jewish holy days. I mean, those are the holy days that Jesus celebrated. I think it's really necessary for us to get back to our roots, there's a lot of spiritual meaning to those holy days.
