My Spill

This Texas weather is nothing but expected.  I wore shorts and a t shirt all weekend and then all of a sudden it is freezin today.  I am all nice and warm but my feet are still icy.   I really don’t know if I will ever get to a place where I am “caught up”?.?.  It seems that there is always more.  I got a lot done today but no matter how many wonderful crosses I make off my to do list there are always 10 more things to add to it….am I the only one?  I tell you what though… over the weekend after a couple different conversations I found out the name of the book I would write if I ever were to write a book.  It would be called: “God is nothing like the church”.  or at least something like that or amongst that line. (honestly it sounded alot better in my head)  But seriously I believe He is.  I have had enough experience around churches and church people and they remind me nothing of God, but honestly mostly the opposite.  I want to go around to anyone who is visiting a church service and whisper a disclaimer in their ear and let them know that my God is nothing like this, and beg them not to judge God accordingly.   I am not trying to be a negative church basher, but really.  Ok and I know we are all people and no one is perfect especially me, but I am stuck on this.  And I will admit that I can list plenty of things I do not like about church or church culture…and very few solutions to the problems or pits.  I know one way to fix the problems in all churches would be to eliminate all the people… but then what would be the point?  So in the mean time, I think we will have to do our best with the church we have and make it maybe closer to what and who God is? Maybe?

“God is nothing like the church” if that is already a book…I am getting it and maybe even reading it.
