FELL ON GOOD SOIL

Me & Kristine act the fool !
HARI: God never said he wanted a religion
HARI: He said He wanted a relationship

For Catholics, Lent has come. People are asking each other what to give up. For me, Instead of giving up something, why not take up something... like reading the bible everyday. Well I'm going to try to do that, and try to do it just in general, not just for forty days.

Please PRAY, for my family problems. I've got my mom purposely trying to start a fight with my dad and my dad getting annoyed of every word coming from my mom's mouth. && my dad said to me, "sometimes you can be nasty" only just because I didn't understand the question he was trying to ask me.

Nevertheless, I have more verses to share from the book of Matthew:

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"—he then said to the paralytic—"Rise, pick up your bed and go home." -9:6

For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. -10:20

Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. -9:37

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. -9:39

My favorite parable is the parable of the sower.

And he told them many things in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears, let him hear." -13:3-9

If you don't understand it, read this:
"Hear then the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path. As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty."
