It has been a nice Sunday indeed. Still and all, I yet have to deal with some personal matters. You see, ever since I quit school I exactly have not found a replacement for that activity. I mean, it is true that I am going to a church now besides having gotten a quick training program at an English institute. To be honest, things have picked up. However, I do recognize that I should be more organized from hereon in.
Besides, I have been doing a little bit of research regarding Peter´s book from the bible. Even though I did not get the chance to study the bible thoroughly when I was younger, I am doing it now. Anyhow, so basically I have been meaning to learn a little bit more about this apostle. Thus, the need for me to find out a little more about his life. You see... Peter was one the 12 disciples of Christ. He was in mostly know for having denied Jesus three times before the rooster crowed. Be that as it may, just like everyone else he redeemed himself after a while. His love for Christ was unquestionable. Not to mention that after many years of doing missionary work outside Israel, he got killed after being persecuted.
Although, he did not think of himself worthy enough to die the same way his mentor did. Ergo, he decided to be crucified upside down. In the bible, it is stated that Jesus ordained him so as to be the first pope. ¨The Rock of my Church¨ dialogue in the book of Mathew says so. Remember this: The bible readings are not meant for people who do not want to accept that its teachings are relevant for each person´s every day life. Irrespective of what my next of kin may believe in regards to religion, I am starting to believe that there is in fact a superior being who is taking care of us from up above. Not exactly am I an apologist of Christianity. I am growing into it however.
Lastly, I would say I do not understand how people expect their children to have values if they do not develop them themselves. Albeit, there may be a reason for people to behave the way they do sometimes. The only thing I know is that oftentimes we do not realize that our actions have a lot more relevance that we give to them. I myself confess having let my emotions control me on occasion. I guess most people experience emotional pain at some point of their live though. By the way I did learn a new word from my friend David: This word is British and is ¨Scatty¨ which is an adjective that means to be forgetful and a bit silly. It is informal though.
