It's all downhill from here....


Here is a list of articles I want to write but...not sure if I want to deal with all the backlash:

-What I learned from my realitives porn collection...and how it helped my marriage.

-Latte's...the domesticated man's whisky...why many of today's men have got no kohones.

-Emerging church: candles, coloring books and sharing...and other stuff that makes the church fathers roll over in their grave.

-Jesus ate meat, drank alcohol and hung out with wild women...and other good examples for character development.

-How God used a prayer meeting to set me free from praying...

-How I got blessed by not tithing...and other stories you wont hear from the pulpit.

-How smoking a pipe turned me into a better christian.

-Why I let my son listen to Metallica....and other parenting tips for postmoderns.

-How I recovered my faith in fantasy...and other liberating tales.

-How the Judas Priest's song "Heading out to the Highway" helped me plant a church.

We will see...we will see...

Well all I can say is, you better get on it, because I REALLY want to read about how God used a prayer meeting to set you from praying, how you got blessed by not tithing, and what you learned from your relative's porn collection. Maybe you should start another blog and put a disclaimer on it...? Because these things need to be talked about and thought about, and unfortunately, the culture within the church right now does not appear too well-equipped to handle it.

We missed you last night. Sorry you were sick. :(

Whew, just reading down the list makes your poor old father cringe and my forehead bead up. I thought God only spoke through His word, these subjects suggest that He uses all the circumstances of life to mold us. I'm not sure I can take this "reality Christianity".
Where's the tarts and cheescake?
I mean, "Porn"! Porn is only found in the world not in church going folk, you make me blush. Just when I was feeling warm and safe inside the box. And fantasy, art, mythology, don't you know these are tools of the devil? Please!; relight the candles, tint the windows, sing Jesus Loves Me and stay out of real life!
Love Dad
P.S. This comes from your mother's side you know.

Maybe not on a blog, but perhaps around a table? I'd like to sit down and talk about it instead of just reading it. Sounds like we need a regular symposium just to chew the fat. And smoke a pipe :)

And hey, I've got some pretty radical ideas I can bring to the table to keep us going.
