So, I haven't had a blog in.....what? Almost ten years? Okay....that's an exaggeration.....let's go with six. It's crazy. But I like writing, so I guess I'll share what I like to write with the world.
....I guess that means being vulnerable.
I've silenced myself for so long......well, here we go....
I hate it when Christians put down other people. I hate it so much. It makes me SOOOOO angry. And I know that usually it's with good intentions.....but that doesn't justify the actions. I think that too often Christians get SOOOO offensive about things, but when other people who AREN'T Christians offend them, they get all angry about it. And it makes me really angry. It makes me angry to hear people talk down about people I love--people who don't express their "Christianity" as well, as others......the "little people" in Christianity? Just because you know the Bible inside and out, it doesn't mean that you have all of life's answers. We have SUCH an amazing tool. We have SOOO much good that people teach us. Why do so many people use it in such a negative way? Why is love just a commonly used word? Why don't we know how to do it? Hello, Mirror....you're not looking too good today.....The only tangible reason I know love is because I have been shown it over....and over.....and over again....by those people I consider my family (not just blood...). I've been shown it not by all of the churches I've gone to or indirectly been involved in......but I've been shown love through the lack of judgment certain people have given me. The same people who have been compassionate to me all these years are the ones who have shown me real love. There are too many "if" "ands" or "buts" in love. There are too many "between the lines". We make people tap dance for our approval....well, stop. Is that really what Christianity is about? If you really want to win the world over, first look at the damage that we've done by hurting people...I think it's time to look see the world with a different pair of eyes.
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."--Gandhi
