I believe he is (at least)
honest, even if, sadly, mistaken…
What I don’t understand is how (or why) he believes the person that “told” him: “that if that were to become a necessary part of my life that I would recognize that need and follow it to where ever it led.“, yet he refuses to believe me or millions of other Christians who have accepted Christ’s salvation by grace, through faith. Not to mention all the highly educated ministers, our Founding Fathers who started our country, and even the many, many people who have spent a good part of their lives trying to disprove the Bible, but have (so far) failed.
In my mind, I have concluded that whatever it is Paul (Spirit) is “waiting” for, has either already happened and he refused to recognize it, or he, like the Apostle Paul, is blinded and waiting for Jesus to remove the “scales”. In either case, I believe Paul is sincere and honest and at some point will recognize “The Truth” and He will “set him free”.

“Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.””
‭‭John‬ ‭8:31-32‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We love you, Paul…. 🙏🏻

And I was born in a Christian family!!
And I use to teach Confirmation one a week at night to teenagers at are Catholic Perrish.

An old 88 year old gentleman who was once my pilot in Vietnam began sending me email, some funny some serious. This is one of his serious emails and it all made sense to me so I thought you might like it too.

I asked a friend who has crossed 70 & is heading towards 80 what sort of changes he is feeling in himself? He sent me the following:

1 After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself.

2 I have realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.

3 I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.

4 I leave my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than I am.

5 I stopped telling the elderly that they've already narrated that story many times. The story makes them walk down memory lane & relive their past.

6 I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.

7 I give compliments freely & generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say "Thank You.”

8 I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances.

9 I walk away from people who don't value me. They might not know my worth, but I do.

10 I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.

11 I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It’s my emotions that make me human.

12 I have learned that it's better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships, I will never be alone.

13 I have learned to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be.

14 I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!

I decided to share this for all my friends. Why do we have to wait to be 60 or 70 or 80, why can't we practice this at any stage and age?
