AHO-C

Mr. Rowland.....Here we go !!!... Just like my childhood hero Wyatt Earp Or was that Annie Oakley [ just kidding but nowadays they actually do claim to be 'G****r Confused']???
The Life and Times of AHO-C:

I was born as a human [ not a biological mass]. I had a great family . I met my spouse in High School when we were 14....been together ever since [ let's see I'm 5 now so that makes it I'll be meeting her in 9 more years !!]. We had a large family...6 the old fashioned way, 11 adopted. If you ever go to a Children's Hospital that cares for handicapped children that have no parents and you don't come out a changed person, then there is no hope for your salvation !! Anyway, color,creed, supposed defective human parts, didn't matter every kid needs a mom and dad !! So here we are the Addams Family ( or is that the Brady Partridges Bunch...wh**ever!]....The irony here is that when I was in my 30's my Mom started crying when she saw the family growing.....I asked her why...and she told me that she was so distraught that she got pregnant with me so quickly after my brother that she did everything she could to abort me !! I just gave her a big hug and told her I would never have guessed that because she was the best mom ever!! [ The last time I saw my godmother ....who was like the fairy godmothers in the fables...she confirmed that she kept a sharp eye on me because she was afraid for me]. Regardless went to grade school at a Catholic School in the poor part of Town ( kinda reminded me of St. Mary's in the movie 'Bells of St. Mary's). Got in fights like crazy, started working when I was 10 picking veggies and 'Haying' ( 80lb. bales of hay I got to throw them up on the wagon....lucky I'm a human or they may have had me pulling the trailer too !!)..Moved on up the 'Entrepreneurial' Ladder to mowing the lawns at a Cemetery, even fell into a grave hole once ( neat!)...to working in a Grocery Store where a customer was yelling at my 'Sister by a different Mister'( I just made that one up ...pretty neat huh!) and made her cry ( this is when crying hardly ever occurred in public)....so like Captain Marvel I proceeded to pound the crap out of him and threw him out of the store ( I must have done something good ...the customers in the store started cheering for me). Anyway , in retrospect I was wrong regardless of the supposed 'righteousness' of my actions and the crowd reaction. This led to my Mafia introduction....apparently the store was owned by a Special Business group. They invited me to lunch ( the entire restaurant was vacated aside from me ...this guy who looked like Rocky Balboa's mob boss, the restaurant staff, and 6 body guards). I was offered a job as a manager trainee in their collections department !!! Now Old AHO-C is not the sharpest tack in the box but even I noticed the rather unique dining arrangements and atmosphere ( I didn't even notice the shoulder holsters and guns ....Oooops ! you just caught me telling a teensy weensy fib!). I thanked them and turned down the offer ( I don't think they k**led me because I'm writing this right now....or maybe they did and I'm just having one of those long drawn out death scenes like they have in the movies for 50 years or so !!). Regardless ,I went to College got in trouble....thrown out of the dorms...lived in a slum where I was told only fools dare to tread ( no wonder nobody noticed me I was finally in a herd of fools and didn't stick out so much)......raised the kids ( they are ALL Overachievers and live on their own despite their physical mental 'handicaps')....2 have passed away ( wouldn't wish the loss of a child on my worst enemy...the kind of hurt and pain you can't describe and it never goes away !! )...Got run over by a car, fell off of 20-30 foot tall buildings onto concrete 3 times, fell off the roof twice, drowned once, had a heart attack with no blood flow going into my heart ( figure that one out), had a 100% clogged Carotid Artery ( or is that a Karate artery)and no blood in the right side of my head ( for over a week because that was the last thing they checked for)!! Some say there is no God...me I don't care how much I get mocked THERE IS A GOD !!... my job is not done ...other than aging pains..I have no real issues and Dr. have told me three times that I should be dead and they don't have any idea why I'm not !!
So I try to smile ....enjoy life....keep things light....and fight for t***h ,justice, and the American way...just an old fashioned cartoon character !!!

Ignorance of the facts. Eden sounds like an Atheist or L**T. Her ignorance about the Catholic Church dominates the contents of her/his brain.

Here are the facts:
All organized group, have sexual problems. E.g. The Evangelical Church was uncovered with 700 sexual cases but hidden and not reported. Hollywood, public schools, and public/private offices, and elected officials are riddled with the d********g sexual problems. Bill Clinton has the most sexual encounters/abuses with a lot of women.

The clergies in the Catholic church 99% vowed to serve Christ with sacrifice all the years of their lives, only to be accused of behavior that the L**T or gays priests had done to the church. These gays applied for priesthood and deceived the Church. Later found out that they took advantage of the opportunities against the younger generation. That is about 1 percent. They were all identified and cleaned up now. the Church paid billions of dollars. Actually the case was not sexual abuse but took advantage of the minors.

The 99% of the innocent priests had been falsely accused because of the ignorance of the public and hatred of the Catholic church. Why? Because people with lesser faith could not follow the rigid requirements of being a Catholic.

The 7 Sacraments must be complied before being full pledge Catholic. That is
Baptism, Confession, Confirmation, the Holy Eucharist, Marriage in the Church, Anointing of the sick, the Holy Orders. If you could not follow them, you could not participate in the Holy Communion, or Holy Eucharist.
E.g. Pelosi, and Biden are excommunicated from taking the Holy Eucharist. They allow the k*****gs of babies, and their beliefs on immoralities.

A brief history of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church begins with Jesus Christ and his teachings (c. 4 BC – c. AD 30) and the Catholic Church is a continuation of the early Christian community established by The Disciples Of Jesus.

Jesus asked:
Who do you say that I am? Some said Elijah or the prophet. But asked again. Who do you say that I am? Peter said you are the
Christ, the Son of the Living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him," Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven."

18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 16:14-19.

I have to agree.

Beautiful Radiance...Love your passion and your faith...I envy those who are like you ....I aspire for the same level of knowledge you have in your faith....it is so easy to be faithful when all is well...but you think clearly about your faith and are not ashamed even though the rooster crowed three times....IF Jesus got ostracized and k**led for HIS faith...who are we to expect an easier path to Heaven...I appreciate you giving me this time to reflect !! Here's a loving smile for your efforts to tell 'The rest of the story'.
This is not a time for any AHO-Cisms....but I'm still me...talk to ya' in the future!!

I understand your feelings AHO-C.
The Holy Bible is the most beautiful book to read. As if Jesus is speaking to us directly.

May God be with you always.

Radiance...you remind me of my spouse....my spouse reads the Bible daily....me I'm more of a meditator and marvel at the creation around us and how it is like 'Organized Chaos'...if you know what I mean...it's like watching everything moving separately and in symphony at the same time.one action being countered by one or more opposite reactions...so complex and simple all at the same time...actually it's a lot like the Bible ...deeply profound but so much common sense and simple at the same time....ultimately it is not easy to survive in the wild and it's not easy to be good and follow the Bible ( ie survive civilized life and achieve salvation) but the paths are always there if you are wise enough to follow them .
Don't let the new Pope get you down....Ultimately it is what God says in the Bible that trumps anything he may say ....he's like the Medieval Popes in my opinion, has a political NWO Agenda more than a Catholic Church based agenda....One thing has always mystified me as a Roman Catholic....Why has the Church accumulated almost $1T in wealth and not put it to some good use and what's with the Royal Trappings for Bishops/Cardinals/Popes ???? Maybe you could help me understand that better ( if there is any understanding other than their title ). Have a Good Night !!

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

And with you, Radiance.

I like to sing.

Psalm of David; For the director of music.

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Thou madest him to have d******n over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

One thing that confuses me is the news I receive about Vatican. I don't pay attention to them. I follow the Bible and the Catechism, as the guide that was brought from the beginning of Jesus and His Disciples. WE have the Sacred Traditions, the Holy Scriptures, and the Magisterium. This Magisterium I think has been diluted with human shortfalls, and temptations, deviated from the true teachings at the beginning.

Regardless, I follow the right thing, participate every Sunday in the Holy Eucharist, the Covenant He gave us when he died on the Cross. Loving one another is His command, thus taking care of the least of us is also part of that.

We must follow what Jesus asks us to do. And if the Magisterium fails, we look into the guidance of Christ at the Holy Bible.

I have read that $500 million was donated by the Pope to the migrating South and Central American people to the US who are trying to get in. I don't agree with that also. Because, we must respect our laws, and just don't allow all kinds of people criminals and good to freely enter.

For Jesus clearly stated when he said, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction. Romans 8:26-30.

They must follow the narrow gate, just like all the prior immigrants. Perhaps the Pope could talk to Maduro instead, or other Central/South American leaders to give up and return their countries to the people who'll choose their own leaders. Instead of dictating to the US to open our borders wide for all to come in. I don't agree with that.

But don't believe so much on the NWO. We will see, I don't think it will happen. Jesus will come when that happens. I trust God always.

Thank you Blade. Beautiful, and I like that very much. Problem is when I am happy, I cry of joy. I can't help to stop.

ALL the Bible is beautiful. But the Psalms are breath-taking. I consider the Bible to be a love letter from our Heavenly Father that gives us instructions on how to be happy, healthy, and most importantly how to achieve salvation
