My most common random thought/question ::it is really random if this crosses my mind atleast once a wk::
Is it wrong for me to pray for longer natural hair, clearer skin and a great body while also praying that I continue on the right path for God?
I feel quilty that I am so insecure emotionally/physically/spiritually...I cant wait till I am comfortable in the skin that HE gave me. I want to be someone that is beautiful on the inside and outside.

No, it's not wrong at all. G-d cares about every aspect of our being. Why wouldn't you wish to be the healthiest you can be? Being the Temple of G-d means the vessel in which He abides in spirit. We decorate, clean, care and manage our homes, our jobs, everything else....why not our bodies? Go ahead and pray for long healthy hair and a fit body.

No, it's not wrong at all... Through Jesus, wherein lies true freedom, we can live without guilt.
3 John 1:2 (King James Version)
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

When you really need a word, God knows how to send it to you. All you have to do is listen and believe! My faith is growing everyday and I owe all my strength to my Almighty Father!

Oh L-rd, what else can happen! Cleaning out the Temple ! I think, like others, he should step down.
EDIT: (psst!!!...I'm catholic...I read and watched the news about Long...not at all my religion...I'm talking about another Vatican scandal. Many of us think he should step down.)
May truth and peace reign.

My prayers are with the innocent souls of Eddie Long's church and all Christians who love the Lord with all their heart and obey His Laws. Amen.
Psalms 35
1 Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me;
fight against those who fight against me.
2 Take up shield and buckler;
arise and come to my aid.
3 Brandish spear and javelin [a]
against those who pursue me.
Say to my soul,
"I am your salvation."
4 May those who seek my life
be disgraced and put to shame;
may those who plot my ruin
be turned back in dismay.
5 May they be like chaff before the wind,
with the angel of the LORD driving them away;
6 may their path be dark and slippery,
with the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
7 Since they hid their net for me without cause
and without cause dug a pit for me,
8 may ruin overtake them by surprise—
may the net they hid entangle them,
may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.
9 Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD
and delight in his salvation.
10 My whole being will exclaim,
"Who is like you, O LORD ?
You rescue the poor from those too strong for them,
the poor and needy from those who rob them."
11 Ruthless witnesses come forward;
they question me on things I know nothing about.
12 They repay me evil for good
and leave my soul forlorn.
13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth
and humbled myself with fasting.
When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
14 I went about mourning
as though for my friend or brother.
I bowed my head in grief
as though weeping for my mother.
15 But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee;
attackers gathered against me when I was unaware.
They slandered me without ceasing.
16 Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked ;
they gnashed their teeth at me.
17 O Lord, how long will you look on?
Rescue my life from their ravages,
my precious life from these lions.
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly;
among throngs of people I will praise you.
19 Let not those gloat over me
who are my enemies without cause;
let not those who hate me without reason
maliciously wink the eye.
20 They do not speak peaceably,
but devise false accusations
against those who live quietly in the land.
21 They gape at me and say, "Aha! Aha!
With our own eyes we have seen it."
22 O LORD, you have seen this; be not silent.
Do not be far from me, O Lord.
23 Awake, and rise to my defense!
Contend for me, my God and Lord.
24 Vindicate me in your righteousness, O LORD my God;
do not let them gloat over me.
25 Do not let them think, "Aha, just what we wanted!"
or say, "We have swallowed him up."
26 May all who gloat over my distress
be put to shame and confusion;
may all who exalt themselves over me
be clothed with shame and disgrace.
27 May those who delight in my vindication
shout for joy and gladness;
may they always say, "The LORD be exalted,
who delights in the well-being of his servant."
28 My tongue will speak of your righteousness
and of your praises all day long.

OMG...JPII(John Paul II), you could sense G-d's hand on him...this one...I just get this funny feeling inside...there's something I don't trust about him. I hope I'm wrong, very very wrong!
I still don't trust him. Don't know why...my senses tell me not to. I hope and pray for peace for all. How do they respond to all this..."I hope for a thorough probe?" Whuh? And how long will it take for this one to come clean? Either lead with justice or step down. We're not blind little sheep. Of course, it's always the little ones who follow to the letter anyway.
I sure wish other fellow catholics would chime in. Enough is enough.

NOTHING and NO ONE can damage The Church, because The Church is rooted in Jesus Christ our Lord -- the Rock that holds, not the rock that rolls. The Seed [Christ and His Bride, The Church] will bruise the head of the Evil One, it is written. The Church's goal is to please God, not man, and people who live for God know they will be hated by the world and treated poorly and with violence; that comes with the territory when we commit to live for God.
"Distractions" are nothing but a test of the faiths of many who proclaim Jesus as Lord of their lives, and I'm sure many brothers and sisters are as watchful as Gideon as they drink from the Brook of Living Waters.
God is surely cleaning His House, to make way for His return for His Bride. Let us keep the oils in your lamps...
[ When I stand before God on Judgment Day, I will be held accountable for my assignment and for what I did with the precious life He gave me, not for the life of another.]

Is thankful that I am fearfully & wonderfully made.That the Lord formed my inward parts; knitted me together in my mother's womb 28yrs ago. That He has searched me & known me, discerns my thoughts & made out my path. That His Spirit is with me always & He is the light of my life. Thank you God for my 28th birthday. Amen.

Happy B-day!!!!
I'm very tired of listening to people say that Catholics are not Christian. I'm about ready to scream. Catholics ARE Christians...but not all Christians ARE Catholic. Geez.
I really sat there and listened to this girl have a ten minute conversation on the shuttle, but she sounded confused as it was already.

Happy Blessed Birthday to you. I wish you more and more joy because of your precious love for God.
:hug: My Dad was Catholic and he was Definitely a Christian ! He rasied me to love Jesus; both he and my mother taught us the love of God and to pray always to our Father in Heaven in Jesus' name.
By your heart, I know you love Jesus just as much or even more than some who say that Catholics are not Christian. Daughter of God you are.
