Speaking my mind

First and foremost I want the people who read this to understand that I am not going after one single person. This is addressed to everyone who chooses to read anything I write on here which includes a LOT of people from my Myspace account and my Facebook account. Sadly tho,they choose not to comment out right on here and rather wish to send me messages or emails stating what they think. I guess they don't want everyone seeing what they write or some other unknown reason but enough of that as I am rambling. Now getting to the point, Over the past year I have been in several heated debates if you will over myself and my relationship with the Lord. While this blog is in a way about that particular thing in a way it also is not about that and I would like to go ahead and say what I have said to all the others on the matter. It is MY relationship not yours so mind your own business. What seems to spark most of these comments emails and messages sent my way about my relationship with God is my choice of using words that are at times hateful, hurtful, and very vulgar. Yes I do know it is a sin and I do know it does not reflect on me well as a person but I will stand before God one day and answer for it . Therefore it is my concern and I do thank you folks for caring enough to worry about it but again it is between me and the Lord. Now that being said I'm about to vent a little bit and Ive got a feeling its not going to make me any new friends and it might cost me a few of the ones I have but I'm willing to take that chance. Since you folks worry so much about me and my relationship and love to point out that my foul language is not Godly and he is not pleased by it I feel it is my duty to point out some things that you folks do that are also not pleasing to Him. For starters as we have already covered crass wording is one of them but lets look at what crass wording covers. Yes cursing is on the list but so are things that are mean spirited or hateful. Now i know none of you good christian people do anything of the sort. Why you didn't even lose your temper this morning when you were running late for work and three different people cut you off on the freeway. I know you did what God would do and said a prayer for every one of those folks. I also want to point out that what we watch can be considered a sin. Now granted all you Christians can prolly skip this part and turn on TBN because as good saints that's all you watch(unless the Rev. Graham has a special on prime time or Bill Gather is having yet another homecoming show) but this one goes to all the folks who like to watch the dirty shows. You know things like Greys Anatomy or CSI and don't forget Dancing with the Stars. But wait what about the sit coms like 2 and half men or the office? Are these shows not sexually charged in one way or another or they have questionable situations in them. That's a sin folks. As Christians we shouldn't be watching that trash. I'm not even going to touch on the soaps as that is a whole book in it self. Well now your still reading and I'm glad but you say well I don't have road rage I'm always kind in my speech and i don't watch that much TV. Do you listen to the radio at all ? The mainstream music these days is full of garbage. Language,sexual material,and violence. Some of it is almost like watching tv with your eyes shut.But I know all the good Christians out there only listen to the holy stations. Well what about everyday things like eating. Did you know that your body is a temple? It is the Temple of the Holy Spirit. Would you throw garbage in your local church? No you wouldn't but lets take a look at what you throw in your personal temple. Have you ever eaten fast food? Or how about something fried. Sweets? Caffeinated drinks ,tea or coffee? All these things are harmful to your body. Its like putting trash in your body. Do you exercise regularly. If you don't that's not good for your body so therefor we conclude its not good for the temple. But wait while we are on your body ...do you drink alcohol? Or what about tobacco usage. That drink or smoke can be deadly. Guess what....Do you give up yet? Its a sin to not take care of your body. Oh but Ive got more...How many of you out there like to shop for days or work the long hours to make that paycheck look better. Did you know that a non christian can look at that from the outside and say you worship those things. Its strange the way folks can shape something to fit the argument for the side they are on. And now the kicker. This one is going to cost me some friends. This is the south and we love our college football ,Oh yes we do. And we take pride in our teams and a friendly banter back and forth with other fans for different teams. But some of the folks out there go a little far don't you think? Emotions get the best of you but its only a game right. So we threatened to kill the other team. We only meant as far as the game was concerned. Or did we. I mean we would never take a game so serious that we actually get so emotional about it that we cry or pout when our team loses. We don't take it so far as to name our children after the coach or that star running back or quarterback. And we sure don't gloat when we do win. We shake hands with the other team and their fans and tell them they played a great game.Or do we. Wait....lets stop and look at it for a second....did we really ...no we couldn't have. Could we? Is a game or a certain team that important to me? Could non Christians really look at how I acted at that game and question my morals or character? Could they say that football is my god? Surely not. Now like I said i know I lost some friends on that but if your are still reading I'm glad because I want you to hear this and know it comes from my heart. I do thank you all for caring enough to be concerned for me. But as I said before that is between me and the Lord. Not you me and the Lord. Be concerned for yourself. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". You keep that in mind and examine your own life before you start judging mine. More to follow..........
