I can’t reveal his name, but he is young, has a lot of energy, and a dog with a spiritual name, Isaiah. People say that I am just too old to spend much of my time on social media, tough, I never thought this seventy year old could have the time of his life staring at my Mac Book laptop, but I realize my clock is ticking faster and faster each day, and suddenly I am grasping for so many answers, that I just took for granite. There are so many people, that I am grateful for assisting me on my spiritual journey, Dr Wayne Dyer, Tony Robins, Dali Lama, Bishop Tutu, Mother Theresa, and now my parish priest with the dog.
It seems that some of my fellow parishioners did not like my priest’s political comments or his Easter humor, about getting your Ash in church, where else are you going to get your ash, I came to the defense of my priest by replying on my Facebook page, by agreeing, “Don’t Be An Ash Hole” , the point is that there is not enough genuine religious that I think what most people need, but I always wonder if Jesus was with us today, how would he preach to us? Would would he say to President Trump, Vladimir Putin, and of course Pope Francis? I would hope to think that we be kind, have compassion, and treat your fellow human being with respect and love.
Our country was built on the premise of being allowed to worship what ever religion we choose, like Jesus being a Rabbi, and sacrifice his life so we can the belief that our eternal God has a master plan for his Universe. There are probably over 10,000 CATHOLIC saints, so many of these have given their lives for Jesus. I can’t understand why my priest has to get rid of his Facebook page, and why would anyone complain to our Bishop. Isn’t this one of our religious freedoms? Should Pope Francis get off social media, should we strike off all those who dare to challenge many of the problems of the world?
My mornings are not the same without my Priest with the dog name Isaiah, I love to share the photos that I have taken at church, especially at our senior’s monthly get togethers. I know I can email my priest, but it is not the same, I want to share him and his dog with the rest of my Facebook friends, please pray for me, and get enough nerve to call the Bishop.
