I guess I have come to the realization that what ever comes my way is God's way of talking to me. I use to say, "Well,God says this in the Bible" Instead, when I am in a situation and I learn something that I have not thought of or it reminds me of a situation of the past,I think,I believe God is trying to tell me something. I think in my last blog,I think I said,that whatever manerism's that got me this far in life or habit's or way of thinking got me this far in life,I should have the right to be stubborn in my belief's that got me this far in life and even if some of my beliefs might need to change,I should have the right to take my time in adjusting.
God has sent me a wonderfull group of people to help me think, to challenge me in my beliefs,like my priest,like my mother, my counselers,my Dr's. I had a situation last week that kept my faith in humanity and then within moments added more grey hair to me than ever before,I got selfish, thought all kinds of horrible thoughts about myself and my fellow man, but God has sent me a wonderfull priest and I can never thank him enough.
I also think sometime that when I get certain things in some point in time,I will need to move on!!! I am now begining to believe that when I converted to the Catholic Church,that if I found something wrong with it,I will remain in it,to reform it instead of jumping around to different church's that reinforce my belief's.
Maybe that should be my way of thinking when I get to a certain point in life and I get certain things in life,I will need to move on,instead stay and fight to improve not only my situation,but other things that could help other people and there situation.
Untill next time.

Destiny
I have a wonderfull priest who today directed ourselves to the Eucharist, the very Heart of Jesus without even saying "Eucharistic Adoration". He talked about how Jesus was omce called Jesus of Nazareth or some other region in Isreal or Palestine, because each region had there own customs and traditions and Jesus would say to the leaders of each region (That I am paraphraising) You believe you have the monopoly of the Truth of God,but you don't, Jesus would say I know what God want's from man, (After all Jesus is the Son of God!!!!!) God want's man's Heart and who better to tell the world than his Son?
During my lifetime, people have tried to "regionlize me" By where I live or where I was born or where I have been. Sometime's I have replied not in kind,I have even hurt people by "regionlize them".
I wan't to apoligize to everyone that I have hurt by diminishing them,in there own way,they to long for God,and where I believe that I can help them,I have helped pushed them away from God and His Son. I am a man that bears the name of a man of whom I have never met,I have never seen his picture. The man that I believe is my father, died young,he was murdered, he had his short coming's as did my mother. I believe that over 20yrs ago that was one of the reasons why I converted the the Roman Catholic Church,not because I believe it's the true church,but what is more wonderfull than to have a spiritual leader that you call Father. With my mother who has her own short coming's, who better that a Mother that has no short coming's and was even willing to give up her Son for Humanity's short coming's. And with a Vicar that is Venerable Pope John Paul II.
It is my desire to be a true son of the Roman Catholic Church, Where I have been diminished,I want to raise people up to my Father in Heaven and to my Brother,My Divine Master Jesus Christ to a Mother that has no short coming's The Blessed Virgin Mother Mary and never diminished my brother or sister in faith and without faith and a different faith. What ever I can do that is within my grasp and power, I will help. Your brother James S. Graham

Here go's nothing
I think I put on my facebook page that I have 2 b-days. Of course my natural child birth of Dec 13th and the other one is Aug 29, 2005...Let's start there (By the way if my spelling is wrong,forgive me,it's not due to my condition...I wen't to public school,LOL) After that day,things slowly changed,while I tried to be "normal" (Whatever that is?) I could not deny that I was begining to change to. I had thought that by a certain age,people will be stubborn and not change any habits that got them this far in life, boy was I wrong!!!!
Due to contrary belief, when you have a head injury, things due change. I thought that with my background in "emotional inteligence" that there would be little or no disruption in my life concerning myself and those around me,again I was wrong. When I talk about "emotional inteligence", people think I am getting gushy with emotional crap,well I am not,due to contrary belief there is actual science,reason and logic behind emotional inteligence.
While I will not get into the history of my emotional inteligence, I am reminded of the Venerable Pope John Paul II in the Jubilee Year of 2000 that he asked for the world's fogivness in what baptised Catholic did to contribute to other people's suffering and indignity,they may have gotten forgivness from the Sacrament of Penance,they did not seek forgivness from those that they hurt.
In the coming day's,week's and month's and years ahead, I will try to remedy that...Asking forgivness from everyone that I hurt. From what I have done and what I failed to do.

Open myself so much more!!!
While I got only 10min to write this down,before I go to lunch,when I get back I want to write down what I think and feel. Most people know by now the inexsucable think I did in Omaha,but I wan't people to understand what it was like for me. I am not here to place blame on anyone, if anything,I place blame on myself and to open up what it was like for me then, as well as now. Folks,I want you to know that there is something very wrong with me,(But, I don't think it is as bad as people going postal!!! or as bad as that guy in Tucson). I am opening myself up in hopes that for the people I have injured,you will forgive me. I hope you folks will understand that because of my disability, (Now a Blessing) you will understand that I am not a bad person,but I am like everyone else who has sinned,but seeks forgiveness. And how I turn my disability into a Blessing,and if you all will give me a chance,I can be a Blessing to you. BRB
