Do you ever feel spiritually empty?


I am not talking about an empty stomach. I am talking about spiritual emptiness.

About four years ago I went through a hard time and the god I had believed in all my life never answered me. Regardless of what I tried. I came to the observation that there is no god. Okay! I lost my mom in 2013 and later that year the father of my daughter became an abusive alcoholic. Only toward me. I ended things before our daughter was harmed. 


Now I had no idea the rabbit hole I would go down. When I realized I was wrong and all I had been told was wrong. As a kid, I use to ask my dad why we went to church on the first day of the week when God said the seventh day was to be set aside for him. Saturday is the seventh day.

I had no idea that it was Pope Clement and Emporer Constantine who change it. They did this so the people would except Christianity. Emporer knew people wouldn't accept Christianity if they had to lose their Pagan holidays.

This brings us to the empty spiritual stomach. What do you do about it? Personally, I get a bible and just open it. Whatever verse(s) speak to me I read.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
