Text Box: that the Seven Sacraments are real; that only that Priesthood which traces itself in an unbroken line to the Apostles is valid; that Jesus very clearly set forth what He desires of us and why; that the Orthodox Church maintains the true Dogma which is the only valid expression of truth and reality - and I am uncertain as to what the Roman Catholic Church today holds to be dogma because I do not perceive it being taught or it being the paramount concern of the Roman Catholic Church in America today. In the past I had no such concerns regarding the Roman Church nor would have such concerns been warranted - but today they are. I am very much aware of the reality of sin and the barrier to eternal happiness it erects. I am also aware of the difficulties many experience in ridding themselves of sin because while I may not be tempted by that which tempts you or someone else, I do experience temptations and I must battle them. I am very much aware and cognizant of the unimaginable good God has granted me and each of us; and of the horrible suffering and death which Christ fully experienced solely for my benefit and for the benefit of each of us. I have a great love of and for God, for each Person of the Blessed Trinity, and I wish desperately for that love to increase, deepen, and be the singularity of my existence to full fruition because it seems that such is proper considering the goodness God has expressed and done unto me. Notice I said the singularity, but I did not say the exclusive, for if such love were exclusive then it would not extend to others, but in being the singularity it has the ability to instantly extend and touch all that is, was, will be, and perhaps even all that could be. I wish that no one be deprived of God: not for an instant, not in the here and now, not in eternity. There can be no greater loneliness than being deprived of God. There can be no greater emptiness than being deprived of God. There can be no greater loss and no greater horror than being deprived of

Text Box: God. Therefore, I wish to re-introduce to God those who have fallen away from Him, and introduce to God those who have never known Him. All sins are bad for us. All sins weaken us making us susceptible to committing those sins which kill us. And some sins, actually many different kinds of sins, kill us. The body may continue to live for decades but the spirit is dead and may not even realize it is dead. It is dead because the soul does not have the life of God in it; it is without God’s Grace which is the life giving essence of God. The human spirit is able to regain life through repentance and Sacramental Confession and Absolution. The human spirit is able to come back to life only for so long as its body retains life. And, the human mind is able to direct this be accomplished through the Sacraments. Of the sins which do not kill our souls, and of those which do kill our souls, when we fight against those sins and the temptations to commit them, and the seemingly spontaneous commission of some of them - as though commission were as natural as breathing, we do have a viable ability to overcome the temptations, to overcome the sins, to stop committing sins, and to change our lives so that commission of sin is a very small part of our lives. Sin will never be an insignificant part of our lives because there is no such thing as an insignificant sin and sin is the only thing which can deprive us of an eternity with God. But it is possible to diminish the commission of sin as being a notable aspect of our individual lives. I therefore explore every aspect and avenue of both overcoming sin and temptation, and of increasing love of and for God. And I express the results of my explorations to you and to every one with whom I come in contact in any manner. I do this because I know you can only attain eternal happiness if you are with God for all eternity, and that you and I must accomplish God’s will for us if we are to each attain that eternal happiness. I also do this because God has been so good and so nice to

Text Box: each of us that He deserves we each be in accordance and in harmony with His will. There are some who reject God. Some reject God to the extent they intentionally live lives opposed to God. Some abort babies, some use artificial contraceptives which kill the newly conceived, some are sexually promiscuous, some engage in homosexual acts, some live flagrant homosexual and lesbian lives, some rob including robbing the public treasury and violating the public trust, some murder, some disrupt or destroy their reason with drugs and alcohol; all these and more being done as intentional acts, planned and executed in opposition to God and God’s desires; planned and executed as part of the fulfillment of the individual’s own intentionally evil desires for that individual’s self gratification. I desire that no one go to Hell. But such persons would disrupt Heaven and Heaven must be earned through Faith, Hope, and Charity (which is Divine Love) - by thinking and living in accordance with that which Jesus has instructed us to believe, think, do, and live. Those who reject God reject Heaven as well, and embrace the only thing which is left - eternal horror without God and eternal suffering of real pain in Hell. The lukewarm seem to be the most numerous. These are the ones for whom God is not a significant part or aspect of their lives. That Which created them and maintains them in existence holds no significant place in their lives; and for some holds no place in their lives. When pressed to think about God, some of these will acknowledge there is some form of something which they will label God, and others will express the concept they are uncertain as to the reality of there being a God. There are also those who exert little or no effort directed toward their own eternal salvation, or that of others. Some believe there is nothing after this life; others believe in a form of shadow world; still others believe they continue
