Okay...I have just watched that video. Watched it for roughly 35 seconds. I shut it off, but the song keeps playing in my head...and it has not stopped! I am calling my attorney.
When I was 12 years old, my mother forced me to go to a Jim Nabors concert in Hawaii. Yes, the "Gomer Pyle" dude. I think it left me with mental anguish, pain and suffering. It took me years to get over that. It has been two days since I watched that video. I am feeling the same emotional pain as I did with Jim Nabors. For example, as I walked through the aisles at Costco today...I found myself humming that tune. I am going to sue for millions. No, billions!
The problem with religion is that sooner or later it's defined by who's following the rules and who's not... kind of like the public swimming pool with fences, wristbands and lifegaurds watching your every move. A relationship with Jesus is more like the diving board at the public pool. When you're on one all you do is dive and invite others to do the same. There are places for structure. But when we subordinate 'the relationship' to rules everyone loses. If rules could saves us we wouldn't need a Savior. (my paraphrase of Galatians 3)
I'm married (Johnna) and have three children (Quincy, Shay and Evan). I've done some school (K-12th, College, Post-Graduate work... I think 2nd grade was my favorite). I'm currently planting a church (actually it's God planting the church. I just get to be the lead follower) in Overland Park, KS called Mission. Check it out at missionchurchonline.com.
