"Jesus answered, 'If I want him to stay behind till I come, what does it matter to you? You are to follow me'" (John 21:20-25). We waste so much energy becoming preoccupied with others and their business, their reputation and their lives, that we lose sight of our own! Will God take revenge on all our enemies, and when?

Pentecost, Playing With Fire, and the New Evangelization TOM PERNA - May 18, 2013 ... world, but in a Evangelistic way. We should be seeking to light the world on fire with the light of the Holy Spirit. As Catholics, we should be spiritual fire-starters for Jesus Christ and His Church. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus says, "I came to cast fire upon the earth; and would that it were already kindled" ( Lk 12:49). Now I am not talking about starting literal fires, but I am speaking about playing with the fire of Pentecost and the fire that we receive in the Sacrament of Confirmation. ...http://tomperna.org/2013/05/18/pentecost-playing-with-fire-and-the-new-evangelization/

The Secret to Living Life to the Full DA MIHI ANIMAS - May 16, 2013 ... become a saint. (Peter Kreeft, Culture War) So the minimum requirement is everything. Sounds kind of extreme, right? It is. But God doesn't ask this of us to torture or test us. And he doesn't do it to keep us from enjoying pleasure and joy. On the contrary, He does it because he wants us to experience life to the full. Because giving everything is what sets us free to love most perfectly and to enjoy life most fully. It's what sets us free to be who we were made to be. We can give God ...http://salesianity.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-secret-to-living-life-to-full.html
Sunk Costs and Fractional Success. BEARING BLOG - May 15, 2013 ... ugly living room is an ugly living room, no matter how much money you spent making it so.

When people think about goals in terms of potential gain, that's a "promotion focus ," which makes them ...http://arlinghaus.typepad.com/blog/2013/05/sunk-costs-and-fractional-success.html

Hell may be little more than a rejection of spending the rest of eternity with God living in faith, hope, and love. It's worth struggling now to learn how to live in these virtues so the choice is obvious when it really matters. That only faith, hope, and love remain with us hereafter and that we can learn them now is yet another reason Catholics focus so much on ...http://www.tadaministries.com/2013/03/yarc-look-to-faith-hope-and-love-is.html

I don't need those graces. She does. This realization about getting God's help once we need it (and not before we need it) was so eye-opening to me. I think I could have saved myself a lot of worry in my younger years.

Much Ado About Nothing TIME FOR REFLECTIONS - May 13, 2013 I have an Australian friend called Mel who told me once "We humans always over-complicate things. Life is made for Fosters and surfing!

Because all things are dependent on water; plants and animals have their origin in water. Water comes down from heaven as rain, and although it is always the same in itself, it produces many different effects, one in the palm tree, another in the vine, and so on throughout the whole of creation. It does not come down, now as one thing, now as another, but while remaining essentially the same, it adapts ...http://fivefeetabovesealevel.blogspot.com/2013/05/we-need-holy-spirit-in-our-lives.html
