i am third.: From an Old Journal: Lust

iam3rd:

I was looking through some old journal entries, and I came across this passage I wrote during a personal retreat once.

With Valentine’s in the air, I share this unsolicited relationship advice. Maybe it’ll help some folks out in their own discernment of the relationships they are in and/or…

Did you know that? … Well now you know!

Check out the short film my homie made for Keone Madrid because it is amazing.

Keone Madrid’s new video, “PLAY.” Filmed and edited by my good friend, Eugene “X” Ramos. http://www.xavierimaginenation.tumblr.com  He’s the same guy who made a choreo cameo in The Pizza Factory’s Christmas Motherjacker Mix, “JINGLE BELL ROCK.” More great product coming soon!

Michael

So I had a best friend in elementary school named Michael. We called him Mikey. Anyways, we’re both filipino, so he and I, as well as another pinay chic were asked if we could take time to give a tour to some new filipino student who didn’t speak English (at the time. I saw him again a few years down and he picked it up, so good for him). I think the faculty assumed we spoked our native language and it would be easy. However, we weren’t the best in conversational Tagalog (filipino language) as much as being able to understand parental commands. So long story short, this new kid somehow slips away and pulled the fire alarm. Huge huge deal at our school. The fire trucks came, everyone was out and about, cats and dogs were living together… and Mikey and I were trippin. We thought we’d get suspended and were scared/angry. It blew over and I think someone else got the blame? IDK but we actually weren’t sure if it was the new kid who pulled the alarm. Oh well.

Lordy… PARTY ROCK… ROCK STYLE! First Dirty Loops, now this???

[Wo]Man of God>Fan of God

I like to root for the Sacramento Kings or the Oakland A’s and maybe wear some of the players’ jerseys, but you won’t find me at those players’ family parties or giving them financial advice. Why? They don’t know me! When the games are done, I go home. Because I’m just a fan.

So many Christians will tell you “God is always good!” They may sport rosaries or “Jesus Pieces” or even a tattoo of scripture, but if you check their bags, you might not find a Bible. Now, to be fair, this is not a completely applicable claim, but unfortunately it’s also not completely untrue.

It’s easy to say “I love Jesus” or “only God can judge me,” but honestly ask yourselves, are you LIVING for Him? When the “games” are done, do you walk away? Will you come late to the wedding banquet?* Will God know who you are? Or will you remain, simply, a fan.

A simple way to start living for Him is to contemplate every night if you can be truly proud of your actions throughout the day. It’s one way to start listening to Him. Don’t be discouraged. We all have to start somewhere.

You know society is in a bad place when the word “religion” is a bad word. Why? I feel the hate towards “religion” is usually geared towards the Catholic Church so I took it a bit that way. In response to this video I would like to point out a couple of things:

  • Without a church to lead you in your beliefs, you can quite literally just create a god. In turn, you aren’t worshipping our one, true God. You’re worshipping someone you make Him out to be. Religion helps shape that for you.
  • The Roman Catholic Church has some pretty bomb churches. It really does. And why shouldn’t it? It holds the Body and Blood of Jesus! I would think every Christian believes Jesus deserves that respect.
  • The Roman Catholic Church doesn’t just build churches. It is the single largest charity organization in the world. Catholics don’t “fail to feed the poor.” The Catholic Church clothes, feeds, gives water, administers health care, counsels, and gives shelter to the poor. I’m not sure which religions this guy was talking about, but it surely wasn’t the Catholic Church.
  • Jesus did not come to abolish religion. He came to save us from our sins. He started His own church. He set it up to guide us to Him. To love Him. The Church isn’t about rules or “a long list of chores.” It’s about living a godly life and finding forgiveness for your sins. The Church is there to help you find a community of others who love and worship God just as much as you do. It’s not a bad thing.
  • God doesn’t hate you for getting divorce. He doesn’t hate anyone. It’s impossible. He is love. Love can’t hate.
  • We are human. We are sinners. We are corrupted. Religious followers sometimes go astray. Jesus came and brought us back to the path we were meant to be on. Jesus didn’t hate religion or come to abolish it. He came and improved it.
  • Jesus already lives in my Catholic Church so we’ve already let Him in. Boom.
  • Religion is an infection? Really? Religion and Jesus are NOT on opposite sides of the spectrum. “Religion says slave. Jesus says son.” My religion does not say slave at all. Mine encourages me to live for Jesus with all my heart and that I should be doing works for Him and I choose to slave for Him! I think that’s a pretty darned good idea.
  • The Catholic Church has not put me in bondage. Or made me blind.
  • “Religion is man searching for God. Christianity is God searching for man.” Christianity is a religion (awkward…) and man should always be seeking out and looking for God as He has searched for us and our hearts. It goes both ways.

That is all.

“What’s interesting is when you get to the root word, the oldest root word for religion means relationship. And my brothers and my sisters, any of us that are Catholic Christian know that our religion, our Catholicism is one rooted in relationship, one rooted in an intimate encounter and relationship with God, most specifically through the sacraments. When we talk about being Catholic, when we talk about religion, what we talk about is a person, more than just a thing. We’re talking about Jesus, not just a set of practices.” - Mark Hart (the Bible Geek)

I’m glad im not alone in this
