Journel #8

The hardest commandment to follow would be commandment seven. This is the commandment in which it says you shall not steal.  Even though this is a straight forward one it is still hard to do.  The hard part is not shoplifting or kidnapping, but it is taking a friend pencil or taking a few bucks from your parents.  I think this is the hardest one because if you don’t have money and your parents wallet is right there it is very tempting to take a fe bucks for food.


The easiest commandment to follow  is number two. This is the commandment that says you should not say the Lords name in vain.  This is the easiest one in my opinion because there are other rewords that does not invoke the Lords name.  For example I could say, “ gosh darn it “ because it is not putting the Lords name in vain.  Though it is the lazy way it is still not putting the lords name in vain.

Journel #7

At the end of Pope Francis Homily he asked two questions. Where is my heart, and which of these people am I.  The second questions refers to the people of Jesus’s last day alive.    The first question is very brief, but it is hard to answer. This question could have multiple answers depending on your faith.  Some people would say that their heart is with God, and others wouldn't .  The second question is asking if you are the type of person who watches Jesus die and you don’t try to help him, or are you the person who helps him and tries to save him.

The answer to the first question from my prospective is that my heart follows my beliefs.  My beliefs are towards God and Jesus.  Every day I ask Jesus into my heart so that he would guide me to the right path, and not make decision that are bad or wrong.  This question makes you think about your heart and the path it is leading you to. I think that where my heart lays is in a place with great hope and forgiveness. 

The second question ask which person am I.  Am I the bystander or the person trying to fix the situation or make it better.  I would think that I would be like Cryenian who help Jesus carry the cross.  I think I would be this person because I feel like I am a person who would do the right thing no matter the reward or consequences.  Cryenian is brave because if he got caught he could have been executed, but he did it anyway.
