What are you FOR?

It's been a while I know. Many things going on. But here's a thought to ponder. Recently I read a blog post against the new Keno game in Ohio. I don't know all the details of this new game and I'm certainly not a gambling fan. As a wise Pastor once told me it's not the gambling once in a while or playing a dollar on the lottery that is bad. It's what it can lead to that is bad. That is the truth. Many things we as Christians are against really aren't bad. It is what it can lead to that hurts us. While I will not go into depth on that let me get back on topic. We as Christians are always coming out against something. Gambling, abortion, Democrats, etc. But why don't we put some of that energy into what we are for? Things like Jesus, the Holy Spirit, miracles, real love, friendships. See what I mean? We could go on forever if we want to put our energy in the positive direction. So I really don't care what you're against. What are you for?

Be blessed,

Paul

Hear! Hear!

I am FOR community. REAL community. Like neighbors and bbq's and watching the game with the guys. Loaning tools, helping with jobs, and listening at all hours. Real community that just "happens" where you get to try and be like Jesus and love the people around you. You know, community that happnes outside of most of my churchy activities.
