CHRISTIAN MUSIC

I've been listening to Christian music a lot for a while now. Something I never used to do, which makes sense I guess. There are some really good songs out there. I heard one today called, empty me. It was an awesome song. It kind of summed up being a Christian. Empty me of me so I can be filled with you. Now to do it.

GOD BLESS

TOO MANY ADJECTIVES !

Why are Christians seperated into so many categories? Catholic-Lutheran-Baptist...... And then theres sub-catagories of each of them. Drinking Christians--Two time a year Christians---Sunday Christians. Isn't a Christian someone who believes Jesus died on the cross to pay their ransom? So why is there so much worry about the differences?

I understand the differences. I know theres different understandings of the Bible. But come on, we're all on the same team here. Let's just go out and try to "recruit" as many lost people as we can. I don't have to agree with you on if you should be baptized when you're young or old. But I can agree that you need to be baptized. We don't have to agree on the prayers we pray. Or the people we pray to. But we can agree that it's good to pray.

Let's just do what we're supposed to do as Christians ....GOD BLESS

REALLY

So if someone kidnaps a 2 year old girl, rapes her, kills her, I am supposed to pray for him? REALLY? And if he goes to jail, and hopefully gets raped 10 times a day, he truly finds God. Asks to be forgiven. He will be? REALLY? And again I say, It's a good thing I ain't God.

HUG YOUR KIDS AND GOD BLESS

I DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD.........ANYMORE

I've heard of and talked to a few people who no longer believe in God. And I think their reasoning is flawed. They seem to think that because bad things happen, it means theres not a God. And they also seem to think that Christians are perfect people.

My question is, why. Are they being taught wrong. Are they not looking for answers or did they look and still come to the conclusion theres no God? Just wondering.

GOD BLESS

OLD TESTAMENT

Ok, what's up with all the killing in the Old Testament? Joshua? Hello? That dude was kickin ass and takin names. I guess it was all ok since God was pretty much the corner man for him. But my question is why. Sure they were going to the land of milk and honey but why kill everyone in your path?

This may very well be the most stupid question yet but I really don't get it. I'll keep reading and maybe it will make more sense to me but I don't think so. Oh well if this was easy everyone would be doing it.

COPENHAGEN

I havn't had any chewing tobacco since last Wednesday. I've stopped chewing in the past only to start back up for whatever reason. So I won't say I'll never chew again. I will say I think I have a better shot at it this time.



I was talking about quiting for a long time this time. I really couldn't figure out why. I was praying about it, which I thought would make it easier. But it didn't. If anything it was harder this time than any other. Then I realized that although I was praying about it, my prayers were all about me. Just what I needed and wanted. If that makes any sence to you.



When I got that figured out it was much easier this time. My physical withdrawal from nicotine was not bad at all. I know, I can hear my old self saying "whatever!" But seriously there is no question in my mind who is responsible for this. Usually I will get blurry vision for a few hours, that never happened this time. I usually get this numbness and buzzing in the top of my head which usually lasts a good 24 hours. This did happen, but only for a short time. So I thank the Lord for making it possible for me to stop chewing. Also , thanks to my wife for putting up with my behavior for a few days as my being irritable was the same as always.

GOD BLESS

THAT'S NOT FUNNY !

If you know me, you know I kid around about everything. I don't say things to hurt peoples feelings but, as my wife has informed me, sometimes I do. In the past when my wife would point it out to me, I would say "I was just kidding with them" she would say "They don't know that! " And I would tell her, "well I was kidding and they should know it so it's their problem." Then it would be on with my life never to give it another thought.

This past Sunday I said something to a couple as they were leaving church. Then my wife and I have our same discussion. "Did you know them?" Me-"Well I know him." Wife-" you shouldn't have said it." Me-" I was kidding them." This is where the same old story took a twist. I just could not stop thinking about it. Could I have offended them? I guess. Could they really have thought I was serious? I guess.

Well it bothered me enough that I decided not to wait till next Sunday to find out . I sent an email and I'm glad I did. Turns out his wife was very upset. I felt bad and an appology seemed so lame. I mean I probably ruined her day. It makes me wonder how many other times my wife has been right about this. Guess I need to start watching what I say to people. Or it would probably be easier to say I'm only kidding after everything I say.
