Tales From Two Texas Paw Paw

Hi folks, this is 2 Texas PawPaw and the reason for this blog is I like to tell stories and try to write a little poetry now and then. Most of my writings is about my family because I have the greatest family in the world, I realize if you dont know my family, it might be a little boring to you but maybe my family will get a kick out of some of it anyway, Hope you like it and if you dont, well, thats ok too, you're still my friend.

"WHAT RELIGEON ARE YOU?"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw. The poem I wrote for Sunday received no comment, but on the other hand, none of the usual bunch posted and that's probably because everyone was busy and will catch up today. I know it was busy around here, my youngest Grand Daughter came home again and we are glad to have her and Kakie Bear. She is about to get married and I had a very interesting conversation with Jerry, her husband to be, about religeon. He told me he was raised Catholic and he didn't expect Kendra to tell him he had to become Baptist but, on the other hand, he had no intentions of telling her she had to become a Catholic. If two people love each other, it doesn't matter, and God will show both in which direction they should take. Jerry told me he believed in God and he knew there was a Heaven after this life. That's good enough for me. Our mission is not to argue with those who may or may not know Christ, or put them down. It is to reach out to them. To model a lifestyle that is so convincing and so appealing, their curiosty will be tweaked. The non-christian world may be lost and running on empty; but they are not stupid or unaware of their surroundings. When they come across an individual who is at peace, free of fear and weary, fulfilled, and genuinely happy, no one has to tell them that something is missing from their lives. That is God's job and he will handle it:-----John 17:18 (As you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world):-----This is Two Texas PawPaw, signing off, and, the good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I'll be back tomorrow.

Kendra just cant get away from those "Catholics" LOL I'm just teasing, I was married to one for almost 10 yrs. and it makes no difference what the religion as long as You "Believe"

I'm a bit lost here...are we saying that you just have to believe that there is a God? OR are we saying that You must not only know that there is a God, but believe in his only son Jesus Christ and accept him as your personal Lord and Savior? And I am confused as to where Jerry stands on all this...

If you read it again and pay attention, Jerry did not say he believed there WAS a God, he said he believed IN God. Don't confuse the issue, you might start a war. The Bible tells us not to Judge other people, and it also says in Romans, Chap 14, verses 11 & 12 that we will all give an account of ourselves to God. If we are satisfied with what we believe and not afraid to face Christ with it when our time comes, that's all that matters, regardless of what anyone else thinks about us.

Well it just depends because when i was engaged I went to the classes to get married in the Catholic church and had to raise my children catholic but you can't get married in the Catholic church if youv'e been married before.

I think people who marry of different Christian beliefs should just go to a non demomnation church there everyone loves everyone!!! :)
