jesus dark sense-of-humor
I have a very dark sense of humor. I swear. I have a very playful relationship with Jesus.
jesus way goodness
No one can appropriate God, goodness, the Bible or Jesus. It just seems that way.
jesus people medical-insurance
You can tell if people are following Jesus, because they are fedding the poor, sharing their wealth, and trying to get everyone medical insurance.
jesus kitchen together
Mine was a patchwork God, sewn together from bits of rag and ribbon, Eastern and Western, pagan and Hebrew, everything but the kitchen sink and Jesus.
jesus kissing people
Why couldn't Jesus command us to obsess over everything, to try to control and manipulate people, to try not to breathe at all, or to pay attention, stomp away to brood when people annoy us, and then eat a big bag of Hershey's Kisses in bed?
jesus uncles believe
If we can believe in the Gnostic gospel of Thomas, old Uncle Jesus said, "If you bring forth what is inside you, what you bring forth will save you. If you don't bring forth what is inside you, what you bring forth can destroy you.
jesus crazy mistake
God sent Jesus to join the human experience, which means to make a lot of mistakes. Jesus didn't arrive here knowing how to walk. He had fingers and toes, confusion, sexual feelings, crazy human internal processes. He had the same prejudices as the rest of his tribe: he had to learn that the Canaanite woman was a person. He had to suffer the hardships and tedium and setbacks of being a regular person. If he hadn't the incarnation would mean nothing.
christian jesus down-and
Evangelical Christians and I can sit down and talk one on one about how much we love Jesus, and yet I'm not carried in Christian bookstores.
jesus water trying
I just try to love and serve everyone, and bring everyone water, and lend an ear; that's what Jesus said to do.
brother jesus rocks
For me, Jesus is my cleft in the rock. He is my safest friend, my safe totally loving accepting big brother.
christian jesus thinking
I think Jesus is divine love manifest on Earth, as it comes through the community of Christians.
jesus sleep worry
I worry that Jesus drinks himself to sleep when he hears me talk like this.
jesus cat alcohol
I thought such awful thoughts that I cannot even say them out loud because they would make Jesus want to drink gin straight out of the cat dish.
jesus struggle thinking
Sometimes I think that Jesus watches my neurotic struggles, and shakes his head and grips his forehead and starts tossing back mojitos.
