Sometimes I get very discouraged by the group of people I'm affiliated with---and we're not just affiliated; if you're a Christian, no matter the denomination, you are my brother or sister in Christ. We're spending ETERNITY together. I'll be honest, there are many Christians that I hope are busy enjoying a different part of heaven when I get there, because they bum me out. My passion for my people has recently be reignited by a guy I've never met nor side hugged and a great little book and blog called Stuff Christians Like. Jon Acuff, your musings tickle my funny bone like nothing has in a very long time, and I really needed it during an election year.
Why do we take ourselves so seriously? We are a strange bunch. Admitting this doesn't make God any less amazing or loving; it is really more amazing that he still loves us despite our shenanigans. I'd like to pick out a couple of examples from the book, but for some reason the intense humor gets lost in translation. This weekend my husband and I were giggling at the Ninjas, Half and Halves, and Pound Cakes at our worship service and counting how many times God's favorite word was used in prayer. You just have to check it out for yourself.
