If the title offends you – Don’t Read This!
…the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
2 PETER 2:16
(in context at bottom)
Oh how I have missed writing! I’ve missed a lot of things lately actually – it’s amazing how life just takes over and totally consumes your entire existence until you become NOTHING.
I am not NOTHING.
I am SOMETHING!
My momma said so… and she is the one who has encouraged me to start writing again after a very dismal and depressing few years writing about what other people think is important. These topics usually include; themselves, their business, their lives…. I have even written about door knobs – yes, DOOR KNOBS.
I refuse to be a pathetic person that gives in to the morally demeaning role of writing about other people’s trivial shit. Sorry, but that’s just the way I see it. There is so much more to life than making money, so much more to living than just existing – which is all I’ve really done for the past few years and I am officially DONE!
How is it that I profess to be a Christian and so blatantly cuss on my blog you ask? Well, first off I don’t believe that God is offended by my use of an old english term that basically boils down to dung, it’s us crazy Americans that turned it into some vile profanity – we seem to be really good at that. I tease my mom that I’m going to write a book some day called My Mom is Gay and Smokes Fags – how’s that for politically correct? But it’s true…. or at least it was 30 years ago or so.
Secondly, I simply don’t give a shit anymore. No matter how much sugar you pour on lemons, thow a bit of shit in there – it’s never going to be lemonade, even if you say it is – I’m not swallowing that crap. You can spend your entire life devoted to service, helping others, loving the unlovable and fighting for what’s right – but the bottom line is that WE are not in control, WE never were and WE never will be. No matter how good you believe yourself to be – they WILL judge you and condemn you…. and eventually crucify you. Personally, I’ve decided that’s just fine – I don’t give a shit.
Does this mean I’m not a Christian anymore? Absolutely not – I am a better Christian now because I get it. It’s not about what you do – it’s about what you don’t do, and why you don’t do it. I don’t blow up buildings, I don’t abuse children, I don’t hurt animals, I don’t lie, cheat or steal, I don’t shed innocent blood, I’m not an adulterer, there is not an evil bone in my body — I don’t even kill freaking spiders. I don’t – because I have true faith in God and greatly underappreciated gifts called morals, integrity and character. I give more than I take, I love more than I hate – above all I believe in love, real love – not the candy coated crap they sell on Valentines day. I never said I was perfect – I said I was basically good and that’s enough for God, it’s everyone else’s opinion that I don’t give a shit about anymore. When I stand before Jesus on the day of atonement – I know in my heart that I have nothing to be ashamed of, that’s a very awesome place to be people!!
So are you with me or against me? Guess what…. I Don’t Give A Shit!
Join my club – it’s a wonderful place to be in these last days…
Live, Love, Forgive
ENDURE TILL THE END!
2 PETER 2
1But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
4For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
11Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
12But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
13And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
14Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
16But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
17These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
18For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
20For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. (2 Peter 2, King James Version)
