The Best Part about Kool-Aid

I’ve found that Lime Flavored Kool-Aid hides the flavor of rat poison better than all the other flavors.

And just as I’m typing out snarky remarks involving kool-aid drinking christians, my cat knocks water onto my keyboard. Nice.

Anyway, a little bit about how this all came about. . .

Nowhere in the Bible does it say anything about the dreaded “F-Word”. Yep. Nowhere does God set a bush on fire and command, “Thou shalt not drop F-Bombs.”

Allow me to say FUCK. There. It’s out.

But you see, there’s a giant “but” in all this. Christ was pretty clear about running around being a total ass. From everything I’ve gathered in his teachings, it all boils down to treating people with respect and genuinely caring about the people around you, regardless of what you may/may not think of them.

Of course, the biggest issue with qouting chapter and verse on this subject is the fact that the subject is completely missing. Nowhere in the bible will you find “fuck”. Not even in an academic sense.

So, I’ve indulged in some liberal use of vulgarity, but what is the point? The point is this. . . society does not have the right to judge what a sin is. Deep down inside, we all know the difference between right and wrong. This is something that God gave you. Keep off the Kool-Aid and think for yourself.

The ironic part, we will all be outragously polite while we stab our fellow man in the back.

It Starts Again

There’s been some changes around here on the blog. This certainly comes as a surprise after so many months of quiet.

Things have changed allot in my life. Many of the things have been completely obvious, while others have been a bit more subtle .

2008 was a challenging year and this year promises to be just as challenging, but I’m completely convinced that there is traction under my feet and that counts for so much more than anything the world can throw at me.

The biggest change has been the understanding that, regardless of how trite it may sound, there is something (someone) more powerful in this world than I am.

And now you’re thinking that I’ve become some sort of Jesus freak, bible thumper, Kool-Aide Drinking bafoon. Meh, pick your insult of choice. It’s all good.

So, I’m looking at my life and everything that has happened to me in the past 33 years and it scared me to think that I might have some sort of calling. It paralyzed me and closed my mind to any idea of how I could be of service. There are so many things to get into and many roads for us to walk down. I’ve learned allot of lessons.

Anyway, I’m rambling. Things have changed in my world. This blog has certainly changed. This is the first step in my calling to be a preacher.

heh. Who knew?
