because you matter
|
a very well known teacher for the Lord
recently apologized to a faith community for calling them names.

first off, to publicly go after one of the oldest

questions

every time man has let me down
or woman has left me crushed,
after i have whined and complained to You,
You put a gallon of comfort on every thimble of pain i have felt
have You locked Yourself into
an exhaustive routine?
how can You not be tired of me
and my doubts and...

too holy to love?

so loving is my King
that when i bow in worship
He lifts my head.
so loving is my King
that when i stumble in blindness
He steadies me and gives me light.
my Father is a Lion,
my Savior is a Lamb;
their peaceful love sustains me.
i am a broken shard

thanks to all of you who sent me beautiful letters of encouragement and who prayed for me. i get to keep my feet. i don't get to jump off cliffs into the quarry anymore, but then, i suppose some things are only acceptable when you are a brain damaged child. i have to get socks that are two...

being weird isn't enough

i must say that i am a believer. my unfortunate tithing friend may not believe that, but i don't care. i did a study of tithing in theological school. the comments on tithing in the last post's "comment section" are inaccurate and not the thoughts of the management. i have been...

American snake-gods fill wallets

brother warne was the elder of elders in the church where i met the Lord. well, i should say "met the Lord," because i had already done so on my own terms, which, sadly for the rich evangelists, is the way Scripture suggests it will be done at this point of history. it is sad to...
