While we were busily sleeping peacefully in our soft little beds.

While we were happily watching TV filling up our soft little heads.

While our nation was happily preparing for a holiday to worship the dead.

A Church was heard yelling and crying, praying to God in their dread.

When will it be our turn?

America has a thriving underground business that no one will report on.  I wonder what most would think if they knew. 

America has set up a massive machine for straining out gnats while it hungrily swallows camels.  No one apparently notices.  You would think the lack of camels on her streets and roads would have raised suspicion.

Dear uncle Sam:

I did not want to write this letter.  After all the good times we’ve had together, these are hard words to write.

I spoke loving words to you about the Holy God who made us both.  But you didn’t share my excitement.  You turned your face everytime I began to mention Jesus.

I am not ashamed to tell you that I’ve been looking for a partner to share the Love of God with.  And I’ve found that India, Indonesia, Africa,  and quite a few other countries love Him far more than you.  They are not ashamed to speak of Him.  In fact, they challenge one another to love Him more and more.

You, on the other hand consider The Holy One of Israel an insulting topic.

I didn’t want to come to this conclusion.  I tried to spur you on to better things, but you would have none of it.  I wish you the best in the coming judgment.   May The Living God retain His Holy patience for you.  And may you open your ears, eyes, mind and heart to His words.

By His Grace.

Charles was walking through the forest when he met a man who was going the other way.  The man was carrying a dead rabbit, a dead raccoon and the dead Fox.  Now you gotta understand they weren’t just dead they were rotten.  The stench finally caught up with Charles’s his nose.

They were to passed by each other far too close to avoid or ignore.  So Charles was first to say, “Hey neighbor how’s it going?”   The reply was cordial enough, but there was a sadness in a man’s voice. 

Charles was curious.  Before he could stop himself he found his lips blurting out, “what’s with the dead critters?”

The man’s fuzzy eyes focused on Charles’s face.  “I’m sorry I killed em so I just pack them around to remind me.”   Charles would tell you he was stunned by that remark.

Charles couldn’t speak he just looked at the man in amazement.  Sensing the conversation was over, the other man just walked away.

You think that’s a stupid story?  Well how many people do you know carry their sins with them?  They walk around well enough but they’re carrying the stench of death everywhere they go.

BELIEVE!  GET FORGIVEN!  GET OVER IT, FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST!

Ahaha!  You atheists are a pretty slick bunch.  All the rest of the non-believers are running around like chickens with their heads cut off.  With the best of what they can muster they try to disobey with a clean conscience.

But you, why, just look at you.  Nip the entire problem in the bud.  You simply refuse to believe he exists.

All people who stand against God are in the same bucket.  You just got a slightly different twist to you.  Every city slicker has a bit of a problem riding a horse.  It doesn’t matter how they are dressed.

You wanted to be free; be anythng you wanna be.

Well how’s that workin out; as you exercise your clout?

Look there down the road; that broadly stretching road.

Can you see that misty haze; the end of all your days?

When you reach the end of your life, who have you become?  All that freedom to live as you choose.  What next?

Now you appear before the One who never changes.  Have you given any thought as to why He doesn’t change?  Could it be because He lives the life that never fails to matter?  Hmmmmm.

You think you can come up with “something different”.  Yeah, that’s what man needs; an answer to the age old Christian concepts. 

Right about now is where I used to laugh.  But the reality of your folly is quite apparent to me.  You’re headed in the wrong direction.  There will be no peace for you where you are going.  You have decided you know better how to live your life than The One who never dies.  DUDE YOU’RE INCREDIBLE!   For now.
