I appreciate this. I have two very good friends facing some real challenges and the season to be jolly magnifies it. One is facing death and the other has been cloaked with depression….I don’t know how to help them….
I believe in God and Jesus Christ as my savior, but organized religion scares the hell out of me (pun intended).
I live in this little village of perhaps 70 people if you include farms in a 5 mile radius….No grocery store, no cafe really. A bank and a Post office and a bar that’s open 3 nights a week. We have 3 churches though….Chuch Of Christ, Methodist and Catholic…..I went to the Church Of Christ one Sunday and they scared the hell out of me (pun intended). I was waiting for some snake worshipping because I’d been a friggin sinner for so long, I was always gonna be a sinner and my Momma was a sinner, who raised me as a sinner…..The Methodists are like the Lions club, the VFW, the Eagles, the Masons blah blah blah. They run the community. They manage the community and they did nothing as the community died….Hell (pun intended) they can’t make the cafe anything more the a coffee shop that’s open from 6 am to 9:30 am 5 days a week…..So, that leaves me with the Catholics…
I got history with the Catholics. I grew up where there were 3 bordering parishes. Very little was positive from each and every parish except for the Catholic girls uniforms : ). Jesus always knew I might be a pig and the drinking’ thing?, Yeah he knew about that too….
I’ll be off to the Catholic church on Christmas eve. It’s a very beautiful 1930’s brick church…..I’m gonna darken the door with limited fear in my eye. I’ll know a few faces and that will be nice. I’ll think of family and friends that have passed on….I’ll rub my dogs heads for luck before my short walk. What could go wrong?…
If you see a big plume of smoke with lightning preceding it, then it was me and God was just hitting his one iron. God knows I can’t hit a one iron……
Thank You Mary M. Isaacs and Claudia….beautiful words…and Proof Positive and BFH….
