I am overwhelmed by the things that go on in this world. I am watching a TV show about nuns and they just did a story on a guy who claims that he is Jesus Christ. It is so strange to me and so, so against what the scripture teach. I can't figure how they can claim to be living according to the scriptures when what they say and do is so contrary to what the scriptures say. I had the thought during my church rounds that it is a good thing to be skeptical. One should not expect the pursuit for truth to be free and easy and without pain, sacrifice and discomfort. I know that the church has had much success with what we call the meek and humble, but in my experience they are seeking, thinking and keenly feeling people who seem to be searching in order to be true to something inside of them and they are not easily led about by 'winds of doctrine'. I just overheard some nuns express the idea of being a virgin isn't necessarily an important thing. Funny, they hold so fast to some things and yet ignore the majority of truths that the scriptures teach. It amazes me that they can be so messed up and yet appear to be so pious. My own ideas need to be continually readjusted, but to be built on a foundation of truth is a humbling thing. I can invest my faith in what we have. The goodness of the people is a real valuable factor. It is also a real challenge to just keep on keeping on in the simple and yet so complicated gospel of the real Christ.
