Religious thoughts (you have been warned)

Attending the Renewal in the Spirit Seminar after three years of nagging by Aunty June was interesting, to say the least. I went there expecting something like the experiences I had during retreats in Catechism Class..but I guess its always different being a spectator and a participant.

Faith is a gift which we should not squander. I guess that is why the story of the prodigal son touches me so deeply. It is only after squandering a rich gift that we realise we cannot regain our original position in life by our own power. Much as I'd love to be able to rest in the Spirit and pray for others like I did in CC3 and CC4, after your prayer-life has lost so much speed you are none other than the prodigal son who is only fit to come back as a servant.

But I do have faith in one thing: that God will be back for every single one of us. No one will be left behind. One day, when I whip up enough courage to move my butt over to the confessional and ask for forgiveness, I'm sure He will welcome me with open arms.
