Well done.<BR/><BR/>I am with Bart, being real is difficult sometimes in the real world as in the world of "church people". <BR/><BR/>I love Camp Lee, its a good place to take people. Hope its a good time. And yes God is there and will show up. Will they show up to meet God?<BR/>Prayers and looking forward to your sharing the rest of your talks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14654861033242845082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394990294066479321.post-6411165939140868442008-04-08T17:54:00.000-05:002008-04-08T17:54:00.000-05:00that's super cool jack. brings back the old days....that's super cool jack. brings back the old days.

It's like tak...Getting real is really scary to me. It's like taking your pants down in front of a crowd. Why are the laughing!!!<BR/><BR/>There's a bunch of stuff down in there that I don't want people to see... It hurts me and it embarases me that it's there. But, I don't know what to do about it. When I let all that stuff just hang out, I think that I become more approchable, more loveable, more capable of loving others. WhY? Because, I'm not focused on myself anymore. I'm just looking out for someone else...thinking about what Christ would have me do as his presence in this place.<BR/><BR/>That's pretty freakin' scarry when you think about it. To be real, is to be exposed for the fake, screw-up, saved, loved by God anyway fool of a Christian. And when I am nothing but a big mound of useless Sh_t, then maybe I am approaching usefullness in God's eyes. At least I'm moldable sh_t. <BR/><BR/>Let me be nothing that I might be something to a nobody... God hangs out with the nobodies.Barthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496879298504239493noreply@blogger.com
