Friends, I seek to be as holy as I can be as a human being. I do not strive to be holier than thou. Trust me I am not perfect and I make my own share of mistakes. Please believe me I want to paint the best possible picture of a person who follows their faith without diminishing others faith. I think its important to keep things in perspective that we are all flawed no matter if we have faith or not. I love you all as my blogging community and its my goal to show you what being holy is without self righteousness or arrogance. Trust me not every person of faith is better than you but we are working on being better people just like you.

Most believers like me are doing the best they can. With help from the divine we can get there. But we must remember to never be Holier than the next guy or gal just trying to make it in this crazy world.

Christ came into the world not to destroy it but to save it. I think the scripture taken literally is not to take it seriously. As far as warm and fuzzy there is little warm and fuzzy about it. It requires us to put aside our own prejudices and fears to welcome people who are different from us. Unfortunately rigid interpretation is what has driven people away from the church at a very alarming rate. When we care more about dogma and the ancient world than we do about what is happening here and now is when we lose our way. I for one think God’s story is still being written and things change. He is still the son of God but perhaps we need to think of new possibilities.

You can’t always get blood from a turnip or a stone. Only certain things can give that to you.

Yea, It’s Wednesday! The middle of the week is always good because the end of the week is in sight. Hang in there everyone!
