Anno Domini
Today I was wondering what ” AD ” after every year stood for. “Anno Domini”, which is Latin and translates to “the Year of Our Lord,” referring to years after the birth of Jesus Christ.
Somewhere I had come to believe that it stood for ” after death” , how wrong I was. Very wrong. Jesus is a living God, which makes every year the of our Lord. Everyday is our Lord’s day. It’s up to me to remember that. No matter what is going on in my head or in my heart, this day was given to me by God. I need to remember that Today will always be a great day if I allow it to be.
Peace be with us.
Blessed are the pure in heart
” Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God. ” Matthew 5:8
The purer the heart, the closer we are to God. The closer we are to God the better we can see him.
November 1
It’s hard to believe the year has gone by so fast but it has. Tick tock tick tock. Don’t really feel like expressing what I’m really feeling today. Just very sad that cousin Leia is moving out of town. Prayers for everyone.
My Dad
I saw my dad last night in my dream. Even though it was a dream and I only saw him briefly, it was great to see him and give him a hug. Love you Dad.
God either is or is not
Is it as black and white as that? That was the question I was asked yesterday. We either believe in God or we don’t. My response was that I am a believer and went on to say some reasons why I am. Even though I know that God exist, my faith in him sometimes waivers. For others, the answer is very different and that sometimes reminds me of how blessed I am to know that God is real.
