Honk for Jesus

.

Well, I think it is time I told you that there is something I love more than a surprise onion ring in my order of fries, something that fills me with more wall licking excitement a than a phone call from Big D telling me he is on his way home... and that thing...or person I should say, is Jesus. Yup, I love Jesus, I do. If I had a tambourine I'd shake it and run up and down the highway yelling, "HONK FOR JESUS!!!" Since I don't have tambourine, I can't do it...and also because I don't want to get hit by a car! Yeah, I'm a fan of Jesus; that is just how I roll. I know, I say things like "nipple" and "fart" and maybe I use terms like "bagel belly" but the truth is, I am all about God. Oh sure, I am human, I do mess up. I am not one of those people who think I can do whatever I want Monday through Saturday as long as I get right with Jesus on Sunday. The truth is, I try to what I am supposed to do daily, I mess up daily, but God is good to forgive me daily.

There are a lot of people in the world who say that Christian's are close minded, judgmental, hypocrites, well, the bad news is we all (Christian and Non-Christian) are like that to some extent, and in my opinion, there isn't a better place for people who are hypocrites than church. Listen, I know that there are many kooky denominations out there who like to bring out rattle snakes and dance around them to prove their faith. I know a lot of hate has been done in the name of God. It seems like Christians, the ones who claim God's mercy and grace, can sometimes be quick to not show the same mercy to others in need, but the truth is there are a those of us who truly want to be a light in a dark world, who want to show love and want to show that you can love God and still have a sense of humor. I KNOW God has sense of humor, if He didn't He wouldn't have given toots a sound or made them smell.

Now, I'm not saying I am always full of light, love and mercy. Sometimes, I can be mean, vengeful, and full of anger BUT I do know where to go when those feelings are more than I can stand. I take them to my God and try, with His help, to mend my feelings and any relationship I may have shattered in my rebellious heart. I have a lot of friends who are Christians. We don't always agree on everything but the important stuff is there. I even have friends who are not Christians, who think that it is a little far fetched of an idea, but I love them and I don't think they have any less value as a human being just because they don't believe like I do. Sure, I wish they believed like me. What kind of friend would I be if I believed that I might one day get to go to Heaven and see Jesus and never hurt or suffer again, and not care if they never got that? I think I would be a suckie friend. What kind of Christian would I be, if I didn't believe fully in the Bible? I would be a suckie Christian. Just to be clear, I don't think believing the bible as the true word of God means I should kill my neighbor for "eyeballing my donkey". The bible is a big-o-book that I will never fully understand, but thankfully I learn more and more everyday, and one day I will have all my questions answered.

Okay, well I could go on and on about Jesus, the Bible, and how I really wish I had enough rhythm to shake a mean tambourine, but I won't. I'm trying to cut my posting time down so I will have more time for Big Daddy, and of course, learning more about why donkeys were so important in the Bible, so I will leave it at that.

One more thing, I know that there are many people in blog land who don't get the Jesus thing but I also know that there are some folks out there who are having a tough time right now so I wanted to share this clip (click on the first screen).

Bidet to you all!
