I have discovered that people will listen to anyone who speaks with authority, no matter how erroneous or stupid their point of view might be. Many in the world are truly sheep without a shepherd. That is how Hitler got so popular....he had a strong voice and was arrogant. He took control and people just blindly followed him. They were looking for a leader and had no real moral compass within their hearts. So they blindly, and stupidly followed. Pride comes before the fall as they say.
So what are we to do? We have to pray and discern so when the wolf comes in sheep's clothing, we will know not to follow, and likewise, that we will know who to follow.
The problem: People don't take time for silence, for self-reflection, and most importantly, for prayer.
The result: a lot of stupid people following stupid leaders.

My goal for this blog is a simple one: to share my thoughts and feelings about Jesus, my beloved Catholic Church, and thoughts about life, with the entire world.
"Jesus, help me to simplify my life by learning what you want me to be, and becoming that person."
