Abstract
Today's readings have created more questions than answers for me! The readings make me wonder if my faith in God might be stronger had I been like Paul, who came to a new and more complete relationship with God later in his life, through the risen Jesus. If I had been introduced to the life of Jesus later in my life I wonder if I would be more open in proclaiming, that all the blessings I've received are truly gifts from God. I wonder, because of all the blessings I have received, if I might also be too righteous. Learning about Jesus in my youth and continuing to learn from his examples I have had an opportunity to have Jesus in my life from the get go! I do wonder where I am in my search for the Lord. Am I active enough? How do I proceed with this more intensive search?||The readings also make me think about my own personal sin. What is sin for me? Do I know when I am entering into a sinful situation? When I have been sinful do I truly repent and if so, have I identified the joy that repentance has brought to my life?||Today's readings have left me with more questions than answers ... "Let hearts rejoice who search for the Lord".
