knowing I cannot be the person I would like to be unless Abba helps me to be, so I will have coffee with Him.

Sabiendo que no puedo ser la persona que quiero ser a menos que Abba me ayude a ser, por eso me siento a tomar un café con Él

Pharisaic Christians


I read this in one of the blogs I like Yes, I prefer uphill : "*In my old Bible study, we were going to have T-shirts made that said, “Pharisaic Bitches From Hell.” We realized that as much as we wanted to be good and follow Jesus, we kept acting like Pharisees at least half of the time. The “from hell” part wasn’t maybe the best theology, but we thought it was funny. Actually, I still think it’s funny. But I also still laugh when someone farts."

I laughed so hard when I read this because, how much real this can be? not a lot. I think I will get the idea and also make t-shirts for Connection: "Pharisaic Christian.....most of the time thou, and I still fart". Don't you think it will be so funny? then in front of the t-shirt the logo of the congregation. I remember a friend of Jeff from Poets that said: "sometimes the Church needs to be shocked". I am tired of trying to be polite and to be expected to speak properly, specially around Church people...nah!! Let's be real! Paula(my wife) can let you know that with her I am extremely real on my way I talk, sometimes too explicit. We need to start praying the prayer of Saint Alejo (sorry but I cannot explain this prayer to you unless is by phone, e-mail or in person). I did explain it to my friend John in Smithville, he and his wife have adopted the prayer. It is just about being real!!!! ...and yes I am a pedorro!!!

Miguel!
You are so sweet. I've never been featured on someone's blog before. I feel so popular! :)
I'm glad you appreciated this.
But, as for how much more real I can get? Dude, you don't want to know!
Blessings to you & your community.
