A man, his God and this life: Doing a Bad Thing for a Good Cause Doesn't Mean the Heart is Focused on God

A man, his God and this life. Thursday, April 25, 2013. Doing a Bad Thing for a Good Cause Doesn't Mean the Heart is Focused on God. David Kills the Messenger. Courtesy of www.thebricktestament.com. Throughout the Old Testament there is plenty of violence. As God's chosen people work their way back to the promised land, many tribes that stood in the way were wiped out. At times it can be quite unnerving to read about all this death and destruction in God's word. What we can take from these lessons is tho...

A man, his God and this life: May 2013
http://rorypitts.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
A man, his God and this life. Friday, May 31, 2013. Now that youre broken, do I have your attention? I have NEVER heard the voice of God. I have always thought to myself that people who claim to have "heard the voice of God" are two shots short of a triple shot Americano. Wellpour me a triple shot espresso. Tonight at Eucharistic Adoration I heard God speak to me. I finished the rosary and then just sat there. Quiet. Still. Open to hear His voice. There was the body of Christ on the altar...I asked a few...

A man, his God and this life: God's Mercy Helps Me Understand How To Be "So Far Gone"
http://rorypitts.blogspot.com/2013/04/gods-mercy-helps-me-understand-how-to.html
A man, his God and this life. Wednesday, April 10, 2013. God's Mercy Helps Me Understand How To Be "So Far Gone". There is a song by Thousand Foot Krutch. Called " So Far Gone. Off their album The End is Where We Begin. It moves me.not like I have ever experienced before. To begin with I am a total sucker for praise and worship music and the guitar and drums in this song gives the message that feeling. In the first verse the author shares:. Because I've never felt stronger than when you're with me. As my...

A man, his God and this life: December 2009
http://rorypitts.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
A man, his God and this life. Tuesday, December 29, 2009. 2009like wine, only got better with time. Where do I begin? It has been quite a year. It amazes me to look over various pictures, facebook and blog posts and even my top iTunes songs I’ve played this year to get a good feeling of what 2009 ultimately means to me. First and foremost I’m thankful that life is a marathon and not a sprint. This is evident in how the year started off for me. Oktoberfest in Leavenworth. I’m pretty sure we dran...This pa...

A man, his God and this life: April 2011
http://rorypitts.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
A man, his God and this life. Thursday, April 21, 2011. This Lenten Journey Has Brought More Questions Than Answers. Only fools say in their hearts, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! Psalm 14:1, NLT. So where do I go from here? As the scripture says, only the fool says there is no God. I’m most definitely not a fool—there has to be a creator. It takes MORE faith to believe that we evolved from a spec of space dust. But I fi...Mostly what God does ...

A man, his God and this life: How to Make Confession a Little Less Stressful
http://rorypitts.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-make-confession-little-less.html
A man, his God and this life. Sunday, April 28, 2013. How to Make Confession a Little Less Stressful. It's been three weeks since I've been to confession. Believe you me that's like ages in my spiritual walk—just enough time to get filled with pride. Keep in mind the app does not replace going to confession. I still have to go and share with my priest my failings in order to receive absolution. With the app though, it makes the process a little less stressful. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A man, his God and this life: My Story of Fake Living, Pain, Rebellion and Redemption
http://rorypitts.blogspot.com/2013/05/my-story-of-fake-living-pain-rebellion.html
A man, his God and this life. Sunday, May 12, 2013. My Story of Fake Living, Pain, Rebellion and Redemption. I didn't like Catholics. It wasn't that I had anything against them. Maybe they were Christians, but didn't they worship Mary and pray to the pope? Isn't that against Christian teaching? I was baptized as a baby in a Catholic church in San Antonio, Texas, but as far as I cared that was about as much of a visit to a Catholic church I would ever make. God has a sense of humor. I just didn't care any...

A man, his God and this life. Tuesday, April 9, 2013. With Great Procrastination Comes Great Clarity. It's been almost two years since I took my Lenten journey to blog about a Bible verse of the day.

A man, his God and this life: March 2010
http://rorypitts.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
A man, his God and this life. Monday, March 8, 2010. A story of love snatched from the hands of hate. I wanted to share a little something with you—today is Ryan’s 5th birthday. My little guy was born with such vigor and hope. Over time he became more than a handful and withdrew from us. My wife suspected something was wrong, but my first thought was my kid’s no retard he just needs to have his ass thumped. A week or two later he was officially diagnosed with autism. So on this day where we celebrate Rya...
