  • Looking from the outside...

    I did a little reflecting and things and from what I've seen and witnessed I can say 2 things.


    1. I want to have a relationship God that is honorable and true.


    2. I dont want to be "classified" as a Christian.


    Despite the fact that the belief in Christ and His death on the cross in order for us to have fellowship with God is seen ormore or less defined as being Christian, I would rather not be "classified" as one.


    WHY?


    I see and have been part of a "holier than thou" complex only to find myself judging others and not wanting to be judged. I see that people are using fear to spread the gospel by telling people they will go to hell in hopes of them seeing the truth. A super church in Colorado decided to cancel a special service to a fallen soilder in Iraq because he was "gay." IN other words I see a lot and have been part of a lot of crap. So I'm no better than that of anyone else, nor do I think I am, or feel I have some greater purpose.


    Other the past few months I think I have learned something very important and something that is overlooked so much. "Acceptance" Some tend to judge or put down others due to lifestyle or choice in what they or how they choose to live and forget about perhaps accepting someone for who they are. Didnt Christ do this and that was his way of showing love. He did not put down or shun those who were in a difficult or opposite view of himself and his plan, but asked them to follow him. He showed love oout of acceptance, something I dont see much of anymore.


    But I have seen some where I least expected it and where I thought I actually might find it. From a group of people who share a common passion and work to help each other and take care of each other, somewhat to what I thought church was supposed to be like. I wont say everyone or every church is this way, only the ones I went to and tried my best to find a place I could call home.


    Family... its so important... and as a church I see what is supposed to be family... but I dont see what I used to in it...

    I think I might visit church once in a while to see people, but I dont think it will be part of my week. I will remember a sacarfice made for me, and I will do my best to accept people for who they are and show them what I think I should... an unconditional love; for them for who they are and what they went through to get to where they are today.


    I as much as other people just want to be accepted for who I am and the choices I make and not to be constantly haggled about what I choose to do. God gave us free will and I intend to excerise it the fullest, in order  to experience grace and joy and sadness and laughter and anger and pleasure and peace and frustration and happiness and bad times and good times and most importantly... to experience what it is to live... this is my choice.
