       I feel like I am trying to sell something. I don't get a commission but I am sincerely sure of my product. In the world of sales I would be an anomaly. I truly believe in my product and I want to share this wonder with you but I am not about fake endorsements  or exaggerations. I want this for you.

       So what am I selling? The Way. The life and works of Jesus Christ. I would be quick to add that I am not so much talking religion per se. After all, how many have bastardized the message by their rules and rubrics or worse, by their horrific actions in His name. 

       But the truth is, I do want each and every person to know how much God loves them, so much so that Jesus gave his life willingly, suffering miserably on the cross the torturous beatings and journey down the Via Dolorosa.

       I am of sufficient age, with sufficient experience in life and with eyes that see and ears that hear that I can attest to the power and importance of the message. The importance of conversion of self.  How much of society is based on fake, fleeting things that will make us happy? This, that, or the newest other thing.  How many people, when realizing that all the work and toys is not the answer, only to try and find the answer in the arms or loins of another not their own mate?  Mid life crisis, finding oneself, contentment? These are all found in the Lord. 

        The best part of all this is that it is free. The offer is not one of those, get it while it lasts.  You won't miss 'the deal' of a lifetime. But I assure you, the sooner the better. The better off you will be, your family and friends will be, the world will be. Just know that Christianity, belief in Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior is quite powerful. In the hands of humanity it can be used and abused.  Be patient, kind and loving and really be willing to delve into the message of Jesus and all will be fine.  Go to church even. Soak in the richness of tradition but do not make the tradition your religion. Do not let the ministrations of clerics become your faith. Know that your relationship with God is one to one, no intermediaries necessary. They can help your journey but God seeks you. God wants you specifically and in a mutual loving concerned, mature relationship.

Matthew 13:44-52

 ‘The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
 ‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls;on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
 ‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and caught fish of every kind; when it was full, they drew it ashore, sat down, and put the good into baskets but threw out the bad. So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
 ‘Have you understood all this?’ They answered, ‘Yes.’ And he said to them, ‘Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.’
