10 Random Beliefs Meme

I was tagged by Kevin, so here are my 10 Random Beliefs:

1) I believe in all that is contained in the Apostles and Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creeds.

2) I believe that predicting when the Second Advent will occur is futile and against the teachings of Scripture.

3) I believe that we will have an African Pope in my lifetime.

4) I believe that Pope Benedict XVI is a more intelligible and engaging writer than John Paul II, even though I credit John Paul II with my whole returning to Christ and current ministry work.

5) I believe that U2 is the greatest Rock n' Roll band ever.

6) I believe that the Detroit Lions will never win the SuperBowl.

7) I believe that within the next five years I will be driving a fuel-efficient/hybrid automobile. (That all depends on the price of the car!)

8) I believe that the History Channel doesn't actually show history programs anymore, unless you really are in to the occult lifestyle of Hitler, Nostradamus, Aliens, Logging, and Bigfoot.

9) I believe that my recent purchase of an I-Phone will be a great help to me, however I need to make sure it doesn't turn into an idol.

10) I believe that married life is a wonderful thing!

Prayer of Thomas Merton

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
