Hi Jonathan, your post moved me in so many ways. I have been thinking like you for a long time now. I am a lapsed
Catholic...(been to church just a few times, but christened as a Catholic...so what does that mean??) Anyway, when this WTC tragedy happened, the first thing I did was get on my knees and pray. I hadn't done it in so long, that I was pretty sure that God was gonna blow me off. He's blown me off in the past...

I hope that we don't have to carry our past baggage with us the rest of our lives. God knows that I have enough baggage that it is getting too heavy to carry!! Plus there are many things in my past that I really wish to forget.

When will it all end??? I can't answer that. Depression can be alleviated some with medication and counseling, but even after 5 years of treatment, I am beginning to think I am a hopeless case. As far as the world troubles go...I don't know if that will ever end. I believe that judgement day will come long before this war ends.

I guess all I can do, is just live for right now. No thoughts of the past, no thoughts of a future, just live for right now. I have my husband and my daughter to focus on, and I do pray that things will get better. I do know that I will off myself if anthrax gets here...I won't let
Bin Laden win....that SOB can kiss my sweet white ass!!!

I guess I am rambling here...just know that there are others who feel the same way. The thing I am having the most trouble are people who call themselves "Christians", but aren't acting very christian-like. There are some women at work, "bible thumpers" I call them, that are condemmning
everyone in the clinic because they haven't been saved.
Telling us Armaggedon is here...you better be saved..all that crap. If you are a christian, act like one. If you can't act like one...then don't say you are a Christian cause you are not.

Whew, glad to get that out. See, your post moved me. You are not alone Jonathan....Just wanted you to know.

Michelle
