the real me
the real me would want to steal instead of give
the real me would want to tear down instead of build up
wheres the real me?
the real me hates and doesnt love
the real me cries and doesnt rejoice
wheres the real me?
the real me is angry and not at peace
the real me has no direction
wheres the real me?
the real me has no purpose
the real me cannot be found......

"For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

top 15 Southern Baptist Sins
An acquaintance of mine (Joe Perdue) posted this in his facebook notes and I thought twas nifty. Enjoy.
As we all know part of being a Southern Baptist means living a holy life. The way to living a holy life is to adopt as many rules as possible and live your life according to them, like a daily checklist. At the end of the day, if a Southern Baptist can check off more “good” things from the list than “bad” things, then he or she can take comfort in the fact that Jesus is happy…for now. We all know the Bible has some good rules in it, but it doesn’t go far enough. In order to live a truly Christ-pleasing life Southern Baptists must follow extra-Biblical rules that we all know are right. I am taking the time to write this in order to countdown the top extra-Biblical Southern Baptist Sins. While no one really knows what the unpardonable sin is, the top five are good candidates.
15. Smoking
14. Listening to secular music.
13. Being a Calvinist
12. Not being a Calvinist
11. Having a piercing (men) or a tattoo (both genders)
10. Having sex for reasons other than procreation
9. Watching movies that are rated “R”
8. Making fun of godly leaders such as James Dobson and Page Patterson (aka Jesus Jr.)
7. Becoming too friendly with a “lost” person.
6. Being nice to a homosexual
5. Not voting for the Republican Canidate in the last election (Southern Baptists may be excused if they wrote in James Dobson or Jesus)
4. Allowing a woman to study/teach the Bible (in 2000 the SBC voted to use this to replace the old sin “teaching women to read”)
3. Attending a church where someone plays a guitar or where the church makes use of technology.
2. Being divorced, being related to a divorced person, or knowing a divorced person.
1. Drinking

Porqué and Porque
Why do we pray?
Out loud?
Out loud?
Why do we go to church or not?
Why don't we kill people?
Why are we alive?
Why worry about God, morals, values, our country, life?
Why do we do what we do from day to day?
Why do we read the Bible or not?
Why?
Why don't we kill people?

Why?
A great theologian once said "it's not the things we do that define who we are but why we do them"
Because.... He is good and true and right and just and holy and perfect and incredible and God.
If we don't know why then we don't know how.

Update
man, grown up life sucks, this 8-5 job is pretty tough but I do like it. I am learning all sorts of banking jargon and policies. It's pretty interesting. I got to act like a kid again today though, that was a relief to not have to worry about anything and just have fun, seems like that happens less and less now-a-days. This has been a good weekend. Thank You.
