Phillip's Story

1 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. 2If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. 3-7If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love. 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 (the Message) Yes, I've excepted Christ as my savior and became an "apologetic". "What's that?", you ask. It's more of an understanding, honing of cultural, social, scientific, and religious concepts, wisdom of the world both spiritual and physical. Plus the benefit in trusting the Lord. Since school life has been more of a roller coaster ride, more my choosing. I was involved with three wonderful women, had 3 handsome boys, and lost everything I worked for because I had a restless spirit. I was never content and pushed myself with work and was always disappointed when my capacity was met. I lived in person...Expand for more
al frustration, so much that it affected my relationships. Now I live a humble solitary life. My vocations, I paint houses, do handyman work, help friends work on their cars, and actually make a living delivering pizzas (it's steady work and it pays the living expenses). I've learned to appreciate the things I have and actually think I have too much. I'm content. I've learned that life is suppose to be a struggle, everyday a challenge, keeps me from wanting more out of life. I just thank the Lord for the basic needs, anything more than that I believe should be shared with those in need. I've become less selfish, more giving, more understanding, and more devoted to my beliefs and principles. I wish I knew 30 years ago what I know now, I might be sharing a wonderful story about how wonderful my family life has been. I don't know how many of you are going through "hard times" right now, but instead of turning to a bottle may I suggest you turn to a book, a holy book, and put yourself in a closet, close the door and have a personal conversation with the one who really loves you. You'd be surprised what may happen...you can be content with life too.
