"So many people have turned away from their faith, from God, from the TRUTH because of the actions of someone else. And then we have the crazy nerve to blame our misfortunes and bad experiences on God. Well NEWSFLASH it wasn't GOD that hurt you"
Feature Story

The vultures circle

After my mother died I received a small inheritance which if I'm brutally honest - was mostly squandered on alcohol, partying, and more alcohol. I was an absolute wreck during this time of my life so didn't really care about the difference this money could have made to my future. I had just turned 20, was on the dole, spent my nights partying and my days sleeping, had no education, and this was my first experience over the poverty line. To be fair, I did attempt to be responsible a couple of times - both times ended up being just as disastrous. The first attempt was when I went into partnership with two people who I thought a) knew what they were doing and b) were "christians" which automatically ticked the trust box for me. You see, the only Christians I knew were my very good, and very loving family who wouldn't hurt a hair on anyones head. The business was a restaurant/nightclub and we built it from the ground up - blood, sweat, tears, most of my inheritance, and even a trip to the hospital from sheer exhaustion. The combination of our talents and skills seemed like a dream come true. I would run the club, having the most experience from working in the industry, he would run the business as he had recently graduated from business school, and she would take care of all the legal work, as she was a law student about to be admitted to the bar. 

To cut a VERY long story short, my two business partners, who happened to be romantically involved, turned out to be my worst nightmare. ...Read More Here

Why blame it on God?

People can really let you down can't they? So many people have turned away from their faith, from God, from the TRUTH because of the actions of someone else. And then we have the crazy nerve to blame our misfortunes and bad experiences on God. Well NEWSFLASH it wasn't GOD that hurt you....Just like it wasn't God that developed the atomic bomb, or bring about global warning. That was us. People. We did it, we continue to do it, and while on the subject of people hurting us - we also make the choice to trust certain people in our lives. There are always going to be nasty people out there. People who pretend to be something they're not. Yes even people who claim they believe in God and follow His ways. It stings even more when those people infiltrate your life and turn it upside down, but that is simply par for the course. It is the world we live in and NO ONE said it was perfect. In fact it is the very opposite and there is absolutely no basis to be surprised. We need to learn how to live in this world but not be of it. In other words, don't become like those who try to destroy other peoples lives. And in the same breath, don't let the actions of someone else distort the truth in your mind, and cause you to turn away from the very thing that keeps you real. There is of course a brighter side to this subject. And that is the people who are exactly who they claim to be - who walk the talk and are true representations of love and truth. If you find those people (and trust me they do exist - I know hundreds of them!!) then cleave to them. They will help you keep the realness. ...Read More Here
