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

Isn't that an oxymoron?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous post. I wonder if Anonymous bothered to read the article, or just decided to call it an oxymoron.
ReplyDeleteThis is no more an oxymoran than Christian Democrat is.
Perhaps some could benefit from a sampling of not only some of the dark ale of Arthur Guinness, but more from a following of his generous spirit.
Some of the best Christians that I have met worked with me at Anheuser Busch. I worked at Anheuser for over 29 years and saw the generosity of Anheuser Busch employees and company not only to the local community but to the world. When disaster strikes, Anheuser is first in line providing clean drinking water and aid each time.
ReplyDeleteIt’s the same narrow minded people who say that it is an oxymoron to be a Brewmeister and Christian that pass judgment on myself and others who work for Anheuser, while overlooking their own faults and sins. They ignore the fact that they break the commandments and at the same time pat themselves on the back because they do not drink. They seem to think that not drinking and looking down on anyone associated with alcohol makes them a superior person and wipes out the sins they overlook for themselves and their crony buddies.
My thought is for these people to quit lying, lusting, and the other thou shalt-nots. Look at yourself and take a lesson from the generous Brewmeister.
Anonymous, take the oxy off and that's what you are.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous #3, I allow people to post anonymously for a reason, but that reason is certainly not name calling. I won't allow that on my blog.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to disagree to post your opinion. Do not attack people and call them names.
Sam, great to hear from you big brother!! Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing that Arthur heard this particular sermon about ministering to others. I wonder what would have happened if the only sermon he had heard would have been about the evils of brewing? The world would have lost the generosity of a great man.
ReplyDeleteI thank God everyday for people like this Missional Brewmeister.
Sorry Mark
ReplyDeleteI become extremely angry and upset when I feel people attack others. Nothing riles me as much as church members automatically assuming others cannot be Christian or do God's work because they do not fit the mold of the local church or denonmination.
