After reading Dee's post, I found some motivation to finally blog after a whole month. BUT because blogger sucks and of my own stupid faults I lost approximately 30 minutes worth of entry!!! This is the first time, in a long time that this happened. DAMN!!! I was on a roll!
Let me try to recapture some of the highlights of the LOST post!!!
Has anyone been having difficulty staying focused during Mass? I mean, I try really hard to stay focused and attentive to the readings, especially the Gospel, and the Homily. But I find myself thinking about school, what I need to get done, what I'm not getting done, grades, exams, family, friends, my career and so on...Maybe I'm trying TOO HARD!!! Trying too hard to stay focused instead of keeping things as simple as they can be. I try to remind myself that the time in mass is of spiritual development. A time to establish a connection with God in His most Holy Church! A communion with Jesus through the Eucharist! Do you all remember the saying "use it or lose it"? Well as I'm writing, I can't help but feel that way in terms of my spritual journey. I've regressed back to the LIFESTYLE of just going to mass to be at mass and not LIVING the faith DAILY! God has blessed us so greatly with Daily Mass yet, I fail to participate yet alone consider it! WHY? Again, like I said...a LIFESTYLE...I pray that some time soon, in God's time that I will progress into a LIFESTYLE that is of Jesus! A lifestyle of TESTIMONY! I think one of the things that really keeps me grounded and hopeful is when AO1 prepares for gigs. It really brings me back to that so called lost lifestyle. Music (Praise) is probably one of the only things that really gets me to think about living a life completely for Jesus because for some reason I am immersed in the lyrics, the sounds, and the voices. I know that this isn't the only thing that should keep me grounded, but I guess a little something is better than NONE!
Anyway...LENT!?! Just want to let all the fellaz know that I'm hanging in there and trying to keep myself disciplined. I know you guys are thinking that I'm probably going to be one of the first ones to fall, but you all need to think again? By the way, has anyone given in to temptation yet? haha...
Before I go to sleep, I just wanted to share this quote that I came across during a study break...
"If you are humble, nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are." - Mother Teresa...

Hi Dav! I feel cool because you left me a message. Thanks for saying hi. Hope you are doing well. You're my role model.
Totally feel you Dave on thinknig about so many other things during mass and that leading to a lack of focus. Hopefully we can just contintue to pray and in His time that focus will return. Haha, and i guess it was a good thing that. I should have been allowed in this bet, free money baby :D
ok i totally forgot to erase that "and i guess it was a good thing" part because i was originally typing that, so dumb!
