Lost in Faith

Well I did?  Actually I’ve said much worse (depending on your taste!) but the question was related to me, “Will people/seekers come back to church if Roy says ass?” 

This actually would be speculation if I didn’t have an email.  It was the first time that I ever crossed the line on a Sunday morning.  I’d said masturbation, orgasm and various and asundry other words that disturb people.  But one day I related one of my journal entries in which I asked God, “Why am I such an asshole?”  It was a slip if truth be known.  I just innocently related what I had written.

That week I received this, “This Sunday, I decided to make Shoal Creek my church.  When you called yourself and asshole, I knew that this place was real and I wanted to be a part of it.”

I get flack from those who claim to be followers of Christ.  All I know is at least one seeker stuck around.

But get this, I am about 13 centuries late.  There is a hymn written in the 8th century called All Glory, Laud and Honor that includes  the following verse

Be Thou, O Lord, the Rider,
And we the little ass,
That to God’s holy city
Together we may pass.

Imagine singing that song in church!
