Why The Wet Blanket?!!

I know that no one is really reading this blog, so I have to vent. Look, I am a Christian. I believe that Jesus Christ rose from the grave to bridge the chasm between God and man. He shed his blood for our sins. I believe, and I have a relationship with him. But why can't I just say something without having to interject my faith into every word I type on the internet? I love God, but I sometimes have a real problem with those who call themselves his people. Christians do more to drive away their own than any other religon I know, and it is a faith that is based on GRACE and FORGIVENESS!

I am not embarrassed of Jesus or what I believe in, but I am not a Christian to please other Christians! I do not have to convert you or please you! Why is it that YOU are the only people who have a problem with me when you feel I don't inject enough "Jesus" into what I am saying or doing? Your measuring stick will never fit me! Actually, it is NOT YOUR JOB to hold the stick up to me anyway. That job belongs to Jesus...

"I have stolen, cheated,
I have lied
I am prideful, and UNQUALIFIED,
I am broken when I realize,
God's GRACE covers me..."
