If This Is Not A Place. . .
If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
now that is funny. I am a little concerned about the list the author must have clearly copied from about why women should not be ordained.
ReplyDeletebut it does highlight that we all fall short of the glory of God. Praise God for the Holy Spirit which gives us a fighting chance at achieving good in this life.
It seems strange to me that many of the men in church once where beer drinking, fighting tough guys who learned there is a much better way when they found Jesus. Now we are being called effeminate and worse?
ReplyDeleteI'll take the way I am and the life I now lead in Christ any day before I would ever go back to being a "Tough guy" once again. As Paul said: Let me show you the most excellent way... Steve U
