ex communication

For some of those that don't realize what that is, its a term for banning a member from church for unrepentant heart of an obvious sin... There are steps to doing this in a corporate way.

Yesterday I was part of a conversation in small group about excommunication. It is a strange topic to talk about. But it started off with a question about homosexuality. Would we ex-communicate a member for a member dealing with homosexuality. Well some felt strong that we need to ex-communicate, if they were not recognizing it as a sin. But what about other sins like pride. I wonder if anyone has been ex-communicated for pride or other sins just as sinful?

Maybe I can be ex-communicate for wearing a woman's sweater without admitting anything...

Here I am wearing Rose's sweater....

I can't imagine anyone really getting ex-communicated for anything these days. But I am sure it happens. Well, I am certain that God will be the judge of what ever happens. Only God can judge me.... What a scary reality! with this heavy subject, have a great day!

Satan....

he is tricky...
I was at a book store the other day and I wondered over to the religion section. I was looking and up and down the aisle and I ended up at the occult section. I've read the Satanic Bible by Anton Lavey before and there it was again. so I was flipping through it again. Well I can see how some people can see it as a interesting read. As I was reading it more and more it was about man centered. Doing things that Man wants to do.

Yesterday I was having breakfast with Jess Ku. It was interesting. I realize that Jess has a great heart. As she was talking I realized that I have lots to learn from a young'un. She was so far ahead of me in her heart. Listening to her and her faith was like a piercing arrow of conviction in my heart. Cause I realize more and more that I am a hypocrite. Honestly speaking, I am so in need of understanding grace of God.

Yup... Satan tricks me all the time. What seems okay is not akay and what is not okay is okay... I've been struggling lately of being annoyed with things that I should be more graceful about. I need to recognize that I need Him more than ever... Cause I am such da sinner.

Worms....

Everyday I hear new things about people and realize that it cannot be this way. Talking to my friend yesterday, I realize that life is not all that great for many people. But this guy keeps his head up and lives life. I can tell that things bother him yet he covers it with a joke and laughs it off. Yeah... Its true. If you can't laugh at some of the pains and sufferings, then we are really in trouble. I just wish that we can address some of our pains and take to the right place. Bearing the cross and looking to Da Lord. It might not sound like something great, but it really is great. Yesterday another friend told me that the word accountability is thrown around like a cheap suit. People say that they will keep you accountable without meaning it. Its like saying I will pray for you without praying for them. I will keep you accountable.... 5 words that are easy to say. Some even ask for it and not really mean it.

We are a bunch of worms. Just squirming under the earth and not living life. Some are happy to live and interact with other worms and live without light. Some keep all there things with them in that dark soil. Knowing nothing but dark and moist soil of this earth.

I do not want to be that worm. I want to be kept accountable. I want to seek, to find, and not give up. If I am gonna be a worm, I want to be Earthworm Jim. Wearing the armor of God and out of the dark soil. Fighting evil till the day I die and go to that place with Him.

Pom

I love this stuff. It's not the taste... But it does make you very regular. I can't remeber the last time I was this regular. I feel like Hoon these days. Cause that boy goes more than anyone I know... Well he also eats more than anyone I know. But Hoon certainly ain'tr regular. I had breakfast with him this morning. Looks like Hoon dog is looking to get ahead in life. Very proud of him. Cause you know every dog has his day. But Hoon dog will have more than his day. Hoon has been holding back his fury with da ladies. He told me that his mom told Hoon dog that when he starts making money, ladies will be flocking to him. I must agree. cause they already do. Hoon is great. Hoon was telling me some great stuff this morning. Hoon has a heart of Gold. I know that is not the only thing that matters... The heart. But it takes you along way. Than i guss its money... Money... Boooo~~~~~

Talkin' about money... I just updated my resume again. Lisa looked at my resume and basically laughed at me... hahaha! So My new one is bullet proof. I think I am gonna be joining the working force in the near future. I must. Cause I have many things that I must take care of.

Going back to Pom... I said it is great cause it makes me regular. Though this may be in a different context, it seems that most of us don't want to be regular in life. Is there something wrong with things that are regular? or Normal? why is regular synonymous with average... Just some fat to chew on...

I miss playing football. Turkey Bowl Football for my beloved CPC. Yup. I went to da scrimmage yestreday and I had da itch. It was fun to watch some plays and cheer. I guess I really won't be playing this year. Booooo~~~~ Turkey Bowl always brings out my pride. I always have this smurk on my face when I think about some of the dudes that I've hurt in the past. yeah... No good. Its a running joke but is there any love out there in Turkey Bowl? Cause only thing that I really loved about Turkey bowl was hurting some fools. I know... Its bad. But what can I say? I am a bad man.

Talking about bad....

I realize more and more that we live in a fallen world. I keep hearing and reading disturbing things and more and more I think about it, more and more I think that I am being sucked into madness. For some strange reason, I keep getting angry these days about some of the news I hear or things that I read. I gotta chill out!
