My cousin

Postby Kisa » Fri Sep 17, 2004 3:57 pm

I have just recently found out that my cousin, a freshman in college, has started attending a Buhddism club . . . please pray for her . . . I know she is searcching spiritually and I hope this isn't what she lands on. She was raised catholic, but apparently that wasn't enough for her and she stopped attending and didn't finish up with some ceremony for it . . . (not catholic couldnt say what) so she was looking and attended other churches, now shes in that club. Pray please, I'd hate to see her get into that and be lost . . .

That's horrible! Can't say I'm surprised though...after reading about the whole "gluten-free wafer communion scandal" on CNN.com, I'm surprised that ANYONE can attend the Catholic church these days (no offense to any Catholics, I know not ALL of their churches are like that).

I really hope your cousin realizes that Buddhism just isn't the way, and I will be praying for her.

And what do you mean by that...? For one I would take every story CNN puts out there with a grain of salt. They're the most biased media source in the country next to Berkley's campus newspaper. What do you mean anyway you're not making much sense at all?

And I'm not understanding something here Kisa. Is she actually practicing Buddhism or just "checking it out." You never really specified, because I see nothing wrong with learning more about other religions.

W/r/t Catholicism, this is a prayer thread. Knock it off (pointing no fingers -- just drop the subject entirely).

Kisa, I will keep your cousin in prayer (the term you were thinking of is confirmation, I think).

Kisa, I will definitely pray for your cousin. ^___^

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Thanks shoo, I didnt mean for this to become a controversy . . just a prayer request. I have no clue if she is practicing or not, but it seems like it, she talks about it constantly and attends the club alot. Uses Buddah quotes and stuff where we would use Jesus. . .
Yes and thats it: conformation, lol, I couldnt remember the name.
Thank you for praying all!

Ouch. Oh, I'm so sorry! I'll pray for your cousin. I've been through something similar, and I know how much it hurts. Sorry! :hug:
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Wow. I'll definately be praying for you and your cousin. How are her parents? Are they despairing? Do they have hope? Are they condemning? Do they know? I had a friend sort of like that, but she's a strong Christian now, and her parents are areligious, so it was very hard for her. Anyway, I'll definately be praying.
