I went to church with my family tonight and the pastor said something that I think every Christian should hear

  • Pastor: Now, according to a few passages in the bible, homosexuality is a sin.
  • Couple of older males in the audience: Amen!
  • Pastor: Now, wait, I'm not finished.
  • Pastor: You know what else the bible defines as a sin? Divorce.
  • -uncomfortable silence-
  • Pastor: There are countless passages that talk about how divorce is wrong, and that there are consequences to getting a divorce, such as the wife should be stoned.
  • Pastor: Yet, I witnessed a divorce just this morning. And I gotta tell you, it was heartbreaking, but I definitely didn't attempt to throw rocks at the wife, even though she was the one who filed for divorce.
  • Pastor: We choose to overlook the consequences of divorce because time has proven that they're inhumane and cruel.
  • Pastor: The bible doesn't say anything about the consequences of a homosexual lifestyle. Yet, we seem to be spearheading a campaign to ruin the lives of people we don't even know.
  • -the pastor shifts a few notes around-
  • Pastor: The bible states to love thy neighbor. That's it. There are no other rules or restrictions to that passage.
  • Pastor: So, we as a church family have to support equality with a smile on our face. THAT is the true Christian way.

Trusting someone is like this gigantic act of faith. You put it out there and you can never really be sure that you’re going to get it back.
Dawson’s Creek.
All the really exciting things in life require more courage than we currently have. A deep breath and a leap. See, the kind of fear you’re talking about… Sometimes it’s how you know what’s worthwhile.
Dawson’s Creek.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ‘Woohoo! What a ride!’
It’s said that grown-ups never understand and it is tiresome for children to explain things to them.
The Little Prince: Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
Don’t look back unless you can laugh. Don’t look forward unless you can dream.
It seems like everyone in this world is looking for perfection, but how do we find something that doesn’t exist?
Perfect Man: Nasty Boy Klick.
Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I’m not perfect and I don’t live to be but before you start pointing fingers make sure your hands are clean.
Judge Not: Bob Marley.
No matter what you do, no-one will know every good deed you ever do. Admire yourself for what you achieve: don’t expect other people to do it for you.
You’re going to come across people in your life who say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. It’s actions, not words, that matter.
The Rescue: Nicholas Sparks.
