How I became a Christian 38 years ago and why I still believe - part 4 of 4

2008-07-21T13:43:00.006-06:00

Shouting at God AgainOne of the themes in my life is honesty with God. I believe that is a key to working with Him, even when you are working against Him and you don't know it. God expects honesty and resists dishonesty and hypocrisy. If you are angry with God, He knows it, so don't pretend you are not.This where I found myself again, once I had realized I had lost everything. I left the church

Westword is not known for being kind to any conservative idea, but in being an almost socialist minded newspaper with a naivety that boggles the mind. The folks that run it are smart but I usually have a hard time reading it because it is so left leaning in many ways...to say nothing of the almost X-rated advertisements in the back of the thing.So I was surprised when they did a pretty fair

This is my motto this week. With the whining I did earlier in the week, I have repented and decided I love music way too much to quit and I enjoy the direction my church is taking right now immensely (with the exception of the music).I think I may also be a victim of the "we are trying to reach out to young people" movement and a gray haired old guy on the drums is working against me...but I
