Shazorg! (Another Baby)

Mina had a baby again. Ava Livingston (Forgive me, Bird, I know I've misspelled it.) Born the 16th of June.
I am busy. And tired. But onward and upward. There is food in the fridge for me, so that is nice.
On July 9th. I am speaking/preaching to my church. Hopefully I won't make a career out of this.
My arm hurts. It's sore or something. VBS was this week and it was fun. Now I find food.

ZAP!

Apparently Stacy made a deal with the creators of Homestar Runner. If I don't update my blog, then they don't upadate their site. Sorry to all the fans that have been waiting the past month.
So here's a blog. . .Come on Homestar!

Harrison and Trina's baby arrived on the 9th o' june. Almost a 6/6/6 baby. Jeremiah Harrison. What a great name. Woohoo! I am an uncle again! I can't wait to see him. again I will be the last to see my nephew. This happened before as some of you recall.

Rest

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and You will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." - Matthew 11:28-30

Fatigued

I guess I am just really tired of Christians bashing other Christians. The simple subtle ways they mention news reports or articles about what the latest "Christian" is doing or not doing. In blaming them for being dogmatic we have created our own dogma. We have built a high horse and it is rolling into to New Troy. Sneaking in in plain sight comes this new wave of thought that says it is not exceptable to think homosexuality is wrong, or that it is not a shame that kids are aborted, (and the like) but that it is entirely fine to, with gospel truth news rooms facts, come out with accusations about how other Christians are getting it wrong. We sit behind computer screens and diligently type away at how some other "Christian" gives us a bad name. It has become our new crusade. What cowards we have become. As wrong as it was for the Crusaders to swing blades for their misidentified cause at least they had the courage to die for it. But we hide here behind digital walls of ambiguity, claiming tolerance, dressing it as love but underneath it's our very own cowardice that keeps us from making bold claims. Must we add a dimmer switch to every light? Can we not make claims about what we believe? Do we not see that we are in a world that hates us? I think we have deluded ourselves into thinking that if we are nice to the world it will love us. If we follow Jesus the world will hate us. There will come a time when our governmental laws don't allow for the openness that we have in our faith now. When I fight for the right for any Christian (or any person) to say what they feel, regardless of how mean spirited it may be, I fight for the lines of communication to stay open and not be muddled down with sappy words of dubiety. G. K. Chesterton said, "Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions." You might say to me, "Taylor (or T.C.) I have convictions, but I can still tolerate." To that I say, "You are convicted that you are tolerant that is why you couldn't tolerate me saying that you had no convictions." And you might say, "Didn't Jesus teach tolerance?" No. He taught love. And love is not always tolerating. So then you could say, " Hey man, all I am doing is pointing out a flaw I see in Christian society, in order that we may learn to be more like Jesus in loving people." What about loving those Christians that are shallow in their beliefs, the ones that we are all so quick to think as pharisees? "Well Jesus spoke out againist religious leaders that had it wrong, that is just what I am doing." No. Jesus had the sand to speak to the faces of those that were using God's law in order to be rulers of sorts. Have I ever had the courage to to speak to a modern day pharisee to let them know that they have it wrong? Have I ever even written a letter to someone that is being unloving before I use the as example of my new Discovery Channel show, "What Not to Be Like ...as a Christian." (didn't really work out though.) When I see all these "other Christians" getting it wrong it just keeps my eyes off of two things: The person that is really getting it wrong, and the Person that has already gotten it right. Good night.
