  1. Noonie and Jon were here this weekend. He bought tickets for the Dodgers game and we went.
    We actually started talking about different churches that you find when you’re looking for one to join. And then talked about a couple of people that I knew who had their own set of rules on how you should act and be in church. It started with a post I saw where they were arguing if you should bring coffee into church or not. How can you worship God fully with your cup of coffee? And then I remembered a person who said you had to dress to the nines because you’re entering the King’s house. And I thought of Jesus when He was talking with people that He didn’t make them go back and dress up to be with Him. And He was the King and is the King. It’s funny how people think we need to change or do different things in order to be in God’s presence.
    Jon shares your nutshell sermons with Noonie, and she decided she needs to subscribe herself. He said you are hilarious. You’re just a lunatic, that’s all. Love you, mean it.

    2. Oh so true. I was also told a couple,of times if I don’t to a specific fellowship I have s problem with may faith. What God only hears the prayers of those in a specific fellowship? Those are the same ones that throw verses around like rice at a wedding. Or those that know what God’s will for me is. You nailed it. There are those I truly respect and share wisdom. But the majority? Just a lot a hot air.
      Thanks Bryan. Sometimes I wonder if I’m the only one thinking things like this. Then there you are! Good confirmation I’m not alone…

  2. The first time I mentioned talking to God among my coworkers you could’ve heard a pin drop. 2,000 plus years since Jesus saved us, and we’re still walking around as a people with weird ideas about Him.
    I’m going with the “I’m weird, deal with it!” mentality now, if God likes me the way I am, then I’ll like me too!
    Thanks for sharing this word sir!

  3. A little tired today and a lot serious. I usually use humor to get through whatever comes, but today, not much seems amusing. However, on the subject, when we worship, it’s from within, isn’t it? It doesn’t matter if my hand goes up or a tear rolls down, it’s not because someone told me to, and if they are looking at me, they aren’t “looking” at Him. For me, it’s expressing my feeling of being in His presence. Decorum, yes, respect for the place and purpose, yes. There were some rules for the Temple, too, and a reason to be there, yes, but only two of us knows if I’m truly worshipping in my joy or my sadness – me and my Lord. I am sometimes filled with a song….you know it: “Here I am, in Your Presence, lifting holy hands to You.” Now my hands are not worthy of being called holy, and maybe they are not in the air, but when that song wells up in my heart, I know He is near and I am where I need to be, in His Presence. And everyone else is, well, where ever they wish to be. God bless!

    1. SO GOOD to hear from you Ruth.. and relieved too to hear from Michael. personally it’s been hard not to hate back.. I pray still for justice. That God would hear the cries of his people. but it does say we would be hated for his sake.. I will still remain vigilant. Praying for you safety RK
