Red Ribbon From Brent McClellan Red Ribbon From Brent McClellan

I'm passionate about...: Nothing. I'm working so hard that I hardly have time for family, friends.

My story with God: I was a buddhist for worst part of 25 years, and was struggling with the idea that I could be forgiven for all the sins that I have done in my relatively short life. Yes I did not kill someone (in literal sense), but i have many a time killed people's confidence, and their opinion to what is happening in this twisted world. Many times I was invited to go to church, and out of obligation, i did went, but it never made me think about being a Christian and accepting Christ into my life. But I felt that with Buddhism, along with other religion, the idea of trying to "earn" your place in heaven by doing good deeds is really a losing battle. Every intention to harm or to gain advantage over others, even killing of an ant would be a negating factor to the good deeds that I am trying to do. Its a lost cause, I will surely go to Hell at this rate. With my grandmother diagnosed with Liver Cancer a few years back I decided to go to Church. And I won't say it was instantaneously apparent that I will eventually accept Jesus as my saviour, I eventually did. Alas I was what God hated the most. I'm lukewarm thus far. Something that he won't leave in his mouth but would rather spit out. I need help, I seriously need help.

Other stuff about me:: I'm believe that nothing good can come out of me, and with such a negativity, people around will slowly get affected.
I seriously pray that if my place in life is to be a failure that other people can learn from,.then maybe I would be deemed a "success" in this context. otherwise i'm just another bad apple in this world.
