Yippee!!! They brought the materials for our picnic shelter/pavilion this afternoon! It is actually HAPPENING. I am a little amazed. I really hope all goes well and that it will be received well by the community. This is our gift to them.
But... as they were unloading the materials, I began reading the Christianity Today blog "out of ur". Wow... is that so completely sad. I have to say, I am ashamed to be a Christian at times like this. Not that I think we all need to agree, or that there won't be times when we all use poor judgment. But there is so much hatred and animosity being spewed. And, I have to say, I have lost any respect I had for Mark Driscoll. I don't know him, but know of him, and his posts have really disappointed me. Actually, some people are just downright being jerks.
The whole thing is making me wonder if I even want to participate in any public blogs anymore. I often get frustrated with the emergingcggc blog because it seems no one else wants to participate. It's kinda like each week when I stand before a crowd and pour out my guts... and people just sit there and look at me and never say anything. Why do I do this to myself? I dunno. I hate hatred. And I hate it when I get that way myself.
Well, one of those really mixed days. Thank you, God, for helping put a sermon together today. Thanks for loving even me. You are so good.
For anyone else... peace and revolution friends. And maybe I should say "peaceful revolution." No stones here. May they all be rolling...
