    JoDee Stout wrote a new post, Please, Forgive Me… 8 years, 6 months ago

         As a “spiritual” person, I don’t have a church that I go to to repent for my sins.  I know God is every where and sees who sin and what the sins are and what a person does about those sins.  I find myse […]

    • Your imperfection is not the reason to ask forigveness to the Lord. The good and the bad weather we have everyday is not in your own making nor others. It is nature’s way and nobody could control or tame the nature. The thing you are going to ask forgiveness is a sin that you have committed in one or two of the ten commandments. And the law of the land should be held accountable and forgiveness couldn’t suffice to satisfy the law. You should be meted according to the rule of law.

    • Why is there a need to repent your sin when you know that you are born as a sinner? This is something that I do not agree with the teachings.
      I rather believe in Karma that whatever you do today will have a consequence in the future.
      There is no need to think about the bad deeds done in the past.
      We have to look forward to the future, and do better today.

    • No one is perfect and I think that God realizes this and as long as we try to improve ourselves then we do not have to ask forgiveness for these small transgressions. I think we all do these things since it is just human nature.

      • yup, nobody is perfect, me neither.
        I had not been to church since I married to my buddhist hubby.
        I missed the church and missed God very much.
        So, I set up a small alter in my bedroom and pray the rosary daily.

        I feel closer to God this way.

        Always ask forgiveness for anything and everything and you will feel blessed and thankful too.

        That is what life is all about

    • You don’t have to ask forgiveness for those little things. I also feel those things at times.
      Though, I also easily get angry and when I get angry at somebody I feel guilty too because I have hurt the person at my outburst although I don’t sin because I don’t hold my anger for long. So, what I do is ask for apology from the person, If not, I make a peace offering like I buy a sandwich or anything I can give to appease the person.
      Though at night, I would pray for all those that I have knowingly and unknowingly have done wrongly during the course of my day.

    • Am just curious @Dina fromw what I have gathered in your post I feel like your contradicting yourself. Why because you say you don’t have to forgive her you say that when someone does you wrong you ask for forgiveness. This is something that everyone has to do every single day. We cannot say she have no sin because the bible tell us that we have all dinner and fallen short of the glory of God. There is no one who is perfect in this world, sometimes we do wrongs to people and we think that it is okay, other times we do wrong thinking that it’s okay to do it. When we have thoughts that are not right with our heart’s, when we have unclean thoughts over someone else and many other things we should not say that we have not sinned, because that is sin. Sin is sin whether big or small it makes no difference. For me i will always ask God to forgive me for my wrongs whether in dead or in thought, because I know at some point I may have said something wrong. So it’s something I make part of my life all the time.

    • You say right do not look back what you have done it passed was past but think what to do in future keeping in mind past mistakes so that we could make bright our future for the coining generation and foe self must be in our minds.

      I hurt myself deeply, though at the time I had no idea how deeply. I should have learned many things from that experience, but when I look back on it, all I gained was one single, undeniable fact. That ultimately I am a person who can do evil.

      I never consciously tried to hurt anyone, yet good intentions notwithstanding, when necessity demanded, I could become completely self-centred, even cruel. I was the kind of person who could, using some plausible excuse, inflict on a person I cared for a wound that would never heal,

      I don’t know whether you can look at your past and find, woven like the hidden symbols on a treasure map, the path that will point to your final destination

    Adult coloring books is something I want to get into.  Maybe when I get paid here, I can either get a printer/copier/ scanner so I download some pictures.  Or buy coloring books and colors or colored pencils!!

    JoDee Stout wrote a new post, A Throw Away Society… 8 years, 6 months ago

    Whatever happened to the sanctity of life?  We always here of stories where some stranger maybe even a friend that kills some one for what ever reason.  For a while now, there seems a trend with mothers killing t […]

    • I’ve had four children – one of which was by emergency C-section because it was determined on the day I was to be induced that she was breech, and one of which was born in a taxi because we just barely made it to hospital by the time he was crowning. In all four instances I was a married woman over 30, with a supportive husband and extended family who welcomed the child.

      I can’t even begin to imagine what it must be like to give birth in a bathroom, not having even realized there was a pregnancy. I can’t imagine the fear of being a pregnant teen whose parents would potentially kick her out of the house, or maybe even resort to violence. I can’t imagine how disorienting it must be for a teenager to cope with post-partum hormones – adolescent hormones are bad enough!

      It’s good that in many places a woman can leave a baby at a hospital or fire station, no questions asked. But that may not be the case everywhere, and especially teen girls may not be aware of what to do.

      If we are a throwaway society, it’s in part because we allow young people to be deprived of access to comprehensive sex education and affordable contraceptives. It’s also because we turn a blind eye when a teen is living in a volatile situation. And because we have an epidemic of mentally ill people who aren’t getting adequate support.

      If we could resolve some of these issues, we’d see a lot less of the issues you were writing about.

    • I wonder why they want to carry it to full term in the first place.
      if they do not want the baby, they would have gone for abortion long ago.
      Surely they cannot hide their pregnancy for long, and all their friends, neighbors will know that they have a baby.

    • It’s a sad scenario where you find mother’s throwing away their kids. It’s something that is going on all over the world. I always ask this question whenever I hear of a story where a child has been born, then wrapped up in a garbage bag and thrown by the road side or in abush somewhere, why do you be a to carry the baby to term then damp them? Does that make any sense to you at all? If you really did not want a child why did you go ahead and misbehave? Why didn’t you use some protective method? If you are agrown up you know very well that when you indulge in intimacy there are consequences why not take precaution? This really pisses me of. When you hear or read about someone who has been trying for a child for the longest time and can’t have one yet there is another person who is planning to damp a child somewhere it’s very unfair. I find this very saddening. There was a time when this habit was so rampant in our country where a day could not pass without someone reporting at police head quarters withvs child that had been thrown. So action had to be taken and the culprits jailed. I often say if you get prevent by “mistake” like some would say, keep that child then when you give birth and can’t take care of it, simply take it to the nearest children’s home and let the baby live his or her life according to God’s will. There are lots of couples who can’t have kids, give them that opportunity to have one and have the boy to bring parents if you don’t want too.

    • How can anyone have a heart to throw away a docile, innocent new born baby who is completely dependent on you. This is a big question which keeps hovering my mind.

      There are many people who are desperate for babies and cab pay any price for parenthood. ASK THEM AND THEN YOU WILL REALIZE THE TRUE WORTH OF PARENTHOOD.

    @kaka135, thank-you for the prayers!  I don’t mind the travel, but to make it really worth more time I need more clients.  Yes, having the clients here would make it a lot handier, but sometimes we have to make compromises.  Once my name gets out and I do start working hopefully more people will need my service!!

    Anyway, what do you think of getting college credits/courses on-line?

    As  far as the socializing, I tend to see children in school, don’t socialize really..they have their video games, tablets and iphones they’re into.
