“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” Mahatma Gandhi

The only kind of pet I should have ...
I have often said that I am not good with anything that breathes ... including plant matter. A girlfriend of mine sent me this little kitty and it is very therapeutic without getting cat hair all over me. Brilliant!
Preacher's Kid ... I'm not bitter!
When I was nineteen I was living across the street from the church I was attending. I was watching the elderly congregation file in for the morning service. I was struck with the realisation that there were generations of people already here before Christ, doing the right thing by God. The sick feeling of being part of another generation of pharasies more concerned with outward holiness than heart and humanity awakened me.
Mine is a prodigal story. Returning to faith, knowing I needed God ... does not mean wearing church culture.
Before giving me your doctrine - read the gospels.
As said by Mahatma Gandhi “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
