Quote Of The Day

Either you allow Holy Scriptures to change you, or you will normally try to use it to change–and clobber–other people. It is the height of idolatry to use the supposed Word of God so that my small self can be in control and be right. But I am afraid this has been more the norm than the exception in the use of the Bible.

A Sunday Reflection

This post might be narrow blogging to the team Jesus squad. I hope it doesn’t offend anyone. These are some thoughts and I don’t want to start a debate.

Church and Christianity for that matter should be places of comfort for those who have hearts and souls that need mending after being damaged by various things. Dealing with the reality of life and its ugly stuff is hard work and the church should be a place where you can do that. I want less praise and worship and more blues and gangster rap.

Life is hard enough and Christians should be about helping people on the journey. People of faith are human beings. God is god and when that is realized freedom can be found. It is my hope that my church can be a safe haven for imperfect people. I hope this makes sense.

Twitter In The Wild, Birds On A Wire

I imagine this is what wild bird Twitter is like. Lots of birds on a wire talking about all sorts of things. It’s pretty cool to see all of them just hanging out and doing real-life tweets. Hopefully, they get along better than humans.

Personal Random Stuff

I remember when I was more outgoing. Not much of that anymore. The older I get, the more I am just making it daily. My thoughts of the past are a reminder of where I have been. My thoughts of the present are living in the moment. My thoughts about the future are a total mystery.

I don’t know where I am going but my memories tell my story which is pretty dull if you ask me. Time does keep on ticking and it’s a minute-to-minute deal. It’s my hope that people will still appreciate me even though I seem to be more Eeyore than Tigger these days. Let’s see what happens, I guess that is the dramatic part.

I am sure some of you feel the same way. We gotta stick together then.

Bullied then Bullies

Bullying is totally wrong. Lots of pain and suffering come from being bullied. However, I must be mindful that the journey of those being bullied can lead them to be bullies themselves. This is something I learned more about today. There is more I want to say about this but I don’t have the words at the moment.
