Driving through life.

While one is driving, they shouldn't text while doing so. As drivers, we need to be prepared for anything that may happen. As drivers, we need to pay attention.


When we lose focus, that is when we open ourselves to danger.



Our spiritual life is kind of the same way.





Everyone's destination should be to get to the Kingdom of Heaven


There may be strong Christians out there that have gotten off track. That haven't really been "focused". That have fallen down a road of evil, thus causing them to drift from God.

You see, it is when we allow ourselves to get weak, that everyting goes wrong.
When our inner wold is drab, the attack of satan is much more successful.

The Catholic Catechism says the purity of heart will enable us to see God. It will bring clarity.
Sometimes we weaken ourselves because we are being weighed down by sin.
Sometimes we are lost in all the evil, that nothing seems to make sense. We lose our sense of direction. And while we are lost, and lonely, and yerning for something, Satan attacks.

How do we fight this? By simply educating ourselves. By prayer. By partaking in the Sacraments: Confession and Holy Communion.
It's important to know what the Church is teaching, how Satan works, and how God works.
We will never understand everthing in this lifetime, but by having some understanding we can be prepared for challenges that come our way. We'll be able to answer questions that we are faced with.

Without knowledge, we'd live a life with very little direction.
We'd often get lost.

There are drivers out there that know the roads well.
That can take short cuts.
That can give good directions somewhere.

If we are this experienced on the road, why can't we be this experienced with our Faith?

So much wisdom and understanding will pay off in the end.
If we get to heaven, there will be different "levels" in some sense.
For example, I am not as smart as St. Thomas Aquinas. He has a better understanding of things than I do. So, he's in Heaven with his level of knowledge, and with his level of knowledge, he knows more and understands more. And he is satisfied with what he knows. If I got to heaven, I wouldn't understand everything that he knows. I'm not that smart. But, I would be satisfied anyway...because it's what I understand.


So, read. Stay focused. Pray. Educate yourself.
Be experienced
