Do you ever wonder.. I mean really just sit and wonder about things, people, how things work or what makes people tick?? I sometimes just think about these things when I have a few spare minutes just because sometimes I see something or someone that makes me think WHAT????????? Or I think how did 2 plus 2 equal 57.72.. I mean come on let's just live life and be honest, respectful caring people to everyone.. You know I understand there will be those that we might not care for, but really it is not hard to just be nice and tolerate them.. There really is no reason to be a pot stirrer.. I think as a Christian we need to be the example of this.. We need to be nice, respectful and caring to everyone.. We need to show the love of God to everyone, after all we may be the only Jesus that some will see.
I have been thinking about this for a week or so anyway because I had a girl I know call me a Bible Beater. Now I am by no means a all out Bible Beater, but I do believe in God and I do have a relationship with God, I talk to God all the time and I know that God is in control and that He loves me even when I mess up... (which I tend to do quite a bit) I am a very trusting and kind person by nature and I would do anything for anyone and I will even bend over backwards for those whom I do not care for or that I know do not care for me or treat me bad. Why you might ask?? Am I crazy?? No, but I know that is what God wants me to be able to do. I sometimes think I am crazy and I sometimes put myself in situations that I wish I had not, but I know that if I can be a witness for God that is a good thing.. I sometimes catch myself doing things that I myself think is a bit crazy, but don't we all. I mean come on let's be honest here everyone.. Have you ever just like realized oh darn I am in a spot I wish I wasn't and I am not really sure how to get out of it?? I know that something good can come out of it, but I wish I was not here.......... Sometimes I wish I was not nice, in fact I can tell you off in such a nice way that you know I told you off, but you are not mad about it.. I got talent.. LOL Ok God is on my side..
I think that mean people or people who make fun of other's especially the ones that call people Bible Beaters and such really are missing something in life.. I would much rather be a Bible Beater than not be one.. if I did not have God in my life and a constant line of communication with Him I have no idea where I would be right now...
Just remember we might think it is crazy to be in certain situations with certain people wondering how it happened or how we got there or why people are the way they are, but God is in control.. Let those around you see the Love of God and pray for them that He might open their eyes to His love, joy, peace, grace and mercy.
Remember that Craziness is not always bad...
Have a great day.

Sin.
We're full of it. Stained by it. Ruined.
The flesh is what makes people tick.......tick like a time bomb.
Bible Beater?? What in the world? I have never heard anyone called that!! That's horrible!!
1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
9 Now about brotherly love we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other.
10 And in fact, you do love all the brothers throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers, to do so more and more.
11 Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you,
12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
THIS Scripture right here describes the woman that was used by God, to draw me towards Him.
No one 'beat me' with a Bible.....not fancy gimicks, programs, or ministries. She wasn't in 'holy clothes' or had hair to the floor.........
But she glowed. Like a warm light on a cool night. She glowed.
Not a big beam of light.....not a piercing kind of interrogation light.........but this warm glow. Like a night light in a babies nursery.
She was different, without wearing a sign that said "LOOK I AM DIFFERENT!"
We didn't even have "the salvation" conversation. I don't even think we talked much about Jesus directly.
But I knew..........whatever she had, I wanted.
Ahhhhhhh the 'silent' witness of just allowing Christ work through us. It's beautiful!
