i'Beverly'... (8)...should have known...(8) BC might try to Plot Twist me...

So a friend of mine whom I've recently been thinking of as the 'New Agent J' to replace my other friend who's been out of touch lately with not just myself but the church community as a whole ever since he got married I likely won't see at all for the next little while, especially given the recent seemingly divine 'intervention(s)'.  I feel a bit unproductive in terms of my trying to get in the better habit of at being better at reading and writing (or 'typing' as it is nowadays) again given the fact that my previous entry here can I think be given a "10 years (or in this case, 'days') and you're still not finished yet" pronouncement.  Speaking of things not finished 'yet' after a decade.  I actually haven't had a chance to re-read some of my more official texts or perhaps reflect back to what I learned on various faiths say from my high school course.  However, now is not the time so I am debating should I just 'post in progress' again or "work on one post at a time"?  I love the inspiration behind this particular blog though.  Perhaps I'll leave the first one as more theological and this one more personal.

"I pray that God will show you the meaning behind this circumstance..." [PFM]
"The sky's (NOT) the limit..." [JLP] (When you're not 'Pilot-ing')
"That's Princess Royal drive..." ['No E']

iBookMarks:

"I remember my History of Christianity course..." [last day of Pilot-ing]
"Do you remember this one though?" [JC]

Found this one (book) "on top" ['Not the only Lily']:

"A person can be a gift..." [GC]

"...I saw that elbow..." [BC]  The theme kind of matches though....... Hmmmm.... Plus my prophecies are 'not the only' ones that seemed to have come true in un-fore-planned circumstances. 

The difference is, the first context I still had two important friendships in my life and now they are kind of gone, though with Christ, nothing is ever forgotten, only forgiven.  I feel this is one key difference between the Christianity and Buddhist faiths as well.  Again, this is the 'doctrine/theological' post kind of flooding into the 'more personal' one, but I expected there would be some overlap anyhow.  I just hope I have some time to do this entry a bit of justice today.  There were many things I am in need to getting around to today that I haven't yet done.  Anyhow the point I am trying to make is that in Buddhism, all of your actions/faults/'sins' have external consequences, they will stay with you till the next life and not go away. It is not the case with Christianity, you will undoubtedly face a lot of temporal/temporarily consequences, but these won't carry on with you till after you die; the consequences of poor actions and decision making therefore are not eternal.  This is one of the main key differences between the faiths and I wonder how my dad could tell me that he could only find peace with Buddhism given this fact about their religion.  One main similarity is both belief systems seems to follow the 'golden rule' in that you should do unto or treat others the same way you want to be treated or have done to you. 

[POST IN PROGRESS, I may add more when I finally have more time to read the 'theory'/'theology of Buddhism]
