Lost Cate's Guestbook

You are welcome...
It's been awhile since you blogged about your travels. Can we look forward to more?

I note that it took you two years to publish this very personal blog...
about the biggest questions in life. Is there a God, is He good, and does He love me? You have been promised "seek and you shall find; knock and the door shall be opened to you." I hope I can help you a bit in your search. You have rightly noted that mankind created religion...lots of them...in his attempts to fill that hole in his soul. He starts with what his conscience tells him is right and wrong...hence the similarities between religions concerning a moral code. However, it's really not about following rules and being good...we just aren't capable of that as you've experienced in you own life. So if we can't please God by being good, what can we do? I happen to believe in a Creator who made us in His image so that He could love us and we could love Him in return by our own free will. We do not have to earn His love by doing good and not doing bad...all we have to do is accept His love and respond as a human does when they fall in love with someone. It's all about a personal relationship...where we want to make the other person happy. I don't wish to "preach," but let me know if I can help further by sending me a private message.

... I have goose bumps all over my body and tears in my eyes!! I was able to follow every step of your journey and could feel what you felt!! Thank you for that fantastic trip!! I have been lucky and blessed to experience such a trip with The One myself and I would not exchange it for anything in the world!! I hope you enjoyed every second of it coz you will remember it for the rest of your life!! Love you, babe!! xx

Egypt without Egyptians
I was suprised to see your "felt love for the two young boys" story, then your closing comment "Egypt is better without Egyptians". We have in our country, "bad and annoying people" yet I dont see too many blogs from travelers who blog "America would be better without Americans". Part of traveling the World is to embrace the challenges and annoyances it comes with. Its what World Travel is about. Especially in a country where the economy is down 60%. Tourism is the livelyhood of many Egyptians. The agressive selling and tricks are just a way for the locals to stay ahead of their competetor until things pick up. :) thanks for reading my comment. I look forward to your next blog. Your next adventure. I love Egypt. Planning my 3rd trip.

Sad...
Babe, it is hard but unfortunatelly true! It happens all over the world and one is just heartbroken!! But to change this, the world has to change, people have to open their eyes and their hearts!!

Pteromerhanophobia
Hey! you should know that there's a lot of people feeling like you, and a lot of possible help programs/lectures/DVD's directed to deal with that phobia... there's even an iphone app! that one i'm familiar with- search- my fear of flying, Miki Katz. anyway, great blog! hope I helped!

Does this date work for you?
Oh Cate, how many people in their lives have a deep and meaningful relationship? and think it will last forever? I'm thinking of you......

Well Cate, you've got a hard choice, but the way I see it is - if you don't do what you want to now, you'll regret it down the track. Keep on keeping on. Love V

drinking becomes a problem when it has negative affects on your life when u notice friend commenting or removing themself from your company , When ur work is affected and your health starts to decline and when u put your health at risk. you can change this or u can find drunker friends to justify your excessive drinking love u mum

Love reading your adventure Cate. Isn't Paris just the most romantic city????? Gavin and I only stayed there for 4 days. Walked everywhere and took it all in. I'd return tomorrow. Keep on having a great time and look forward to more stories. I'm sure you wouldn't be homesick. Europe is somethig else. Love Virginia
