I am always shocked when people are shocked that church has drama. As if people stop people-ing depending on GPS location. Instead of asking, why are haters hating or quarrellers quarrelling in the church? Ask, how do I ensure that I, an equally fit sinner, remain intact?
I respect the temple so much, I try to keep my mess out of church. But really this is erroneous thinking too. I should be stopping mess period. Wheww! The Christian walk is harder than memorizing all Constitutions of all nations in 1 month. Luckily, not by might, but by Grace.
“But for the grace of God, there goes I”
The above phrase is one of my favorite sayings. It is attributed to XVI century English Reformer John Bradford, who was considered to be one of the “holiest” men to live since the Apostles. He said this while observing prisoners being led to their execution, highlighting how much it could have been him!
Off, I go. Need to run to whole foods. In the mood for authentic Belgian waffles. Philosophy class over, enters now “The Theory and Science of Chopping Life.”
