Topic: Wisdom from Sarath
I have a good friend at work, you have heard memention him before. His name is Don, but his real name is Sarath. I cannot pronounce or even begin to write his last name. He is from Shri Lanka.
We was talking today at work. He asked me what it was that I didnt like about those calling themselves Christians today....I told him it is because all they want to do is Judge and Point fingers and act self righteous. I then told him that I wish people could be more like him and NOT JUDGE. He got a puzzled look on his face and said "Jim, I do judge, all men judges". He proceeded to say "But it is WHAT we judge that makes a difference, If what you have in you is GOOD and Pure, then you will JUDGE that which is GOOD AND PURE in OTHERS." This completely amazed me, I told him so, to which he replied and smiled " Its all so simple". What else could be said with logic like that? This man is not even a follower of Jesus, BUT he had summed up one of the greatest fundamental truths of the bible. I count myself very fortunate to know someone like him. The harmony that all of these Judgemental Christians are seeking for through pomp and tradition, Don has found by just watching and listening with an open mind and open heart to the wonders of Gods world.
He then later told me that if each of us would take a moment to see how tiny we are in the whole scheme of things, we would have NO CHOICE but to just be humble. We see the planet as the center of the world and US as the greatest thing on that planet...But the fact of the matter is, our solar system is by no means the greatest, and our sun is by no means the largest, and our planet rests in one of the OUTER MOST arms of our galaxy, not even close to the center.....We are so small that for us to judge in the light of Gods greatness is ludicrious.
Well enough babbling about my distain for self righteous and self centered christians....
I just want Jesus and his righteousness, I want to be a servant to HIM, I want to be in the game, not the person that Keeps score, Thats Gods job.
Goodnight world.

The sad state of todays so-called Christians

Topic: Christians, I think not
I never thought the day would come where I would say this, But the So -called christians of today are pulling people deeper into the fires of hell than any secular or heathen person could. I frequent a chat board called christian.net It should be a place of brotherhood and fellowship. The creator of the site Mr. Mark Morely is a nice and Godly man. His vision is being destroyed by these self-righteous judgemental and rather ignorant people that call themselves Christians.
They have now taken to judging a persons salvation by the title a person puts on his lifestyle. Such things as a Christian Goth, or a Christian metalhead are considered evil and not quite as good as the people who call them evil. They say tattoos are wrong and will send a person to hell, This and that is all worldly and God dont like it. They seem to think that NO ONE has a grip on what God wants like they do......I am so sick of it I do not wish to be called a Christian any more. I want to be called a Follower of Jesus Christ. I have NOT the right to judge what is in a mans heart because of what he wears or how many peircings or tattoos they have on them. This is the most assinine thing I have heard in a while.
I want to leave Christian.net but I know of no other place that I could even think of finding other Follwers of JEsus to talk with. Some of them are ok, Some of them dont judge...Maybe by saying all of this I am judging too. I dont want to judge but why cant Followers of the ONE TRUE GOD just get along and stop pointing fingers and judging....REfer to the new topic I am going to create tonight called Wisdom from Sarath.

Topic: My day today
Today was sort of an epephiny of a day. The day at work was not that good. I was sick most of the day. God made it possible for me to at least spend the first four hours of work on the computer system taking my tests. That helped allot.
But now on to more important things. For the past few weeks God has been showing me a few things that I was too dense to catch in all of my years as a christian. God has been putting things and more strongly PEOPLE in my life that has showed me some of the places in my life that I JUST WASNT GETTING IT. For example, as always there is Kim, Her humble acceptance of all people no matter where they are or who they are or what they are doing is one of the biggest helps to me I can have. Then there is my friend Jaime. Jaime is the type of person that before Jesus I would have kicked the crap out of and even up to a month or so ago I swore he was a pansy homo goth witch or something. Turns out he has a better understanding of what Jesus meant by LOVE THY NEIGHBOR than I do. He has been a christian for less time than me but has a gentle spirit that is very much a help for me. Then there is my friend Jess E. She has a way about her that just shows Jesus...But in a very real way. She simply believes and therefore acts like she believes. Then there is Wayno...He is a man that it seems that the world uses to wipe its butt on. But still, Wayno manages to preservere and always have a kind word for me no matter what tangent I am rambling on about. He , in doing this shows he is a Man of God. Then there is my buddy Paul who simply in his meek and kind way prays for me and just hopes that I get my head out of my butt and open my heart to what Jesus has in store for me.
Then last but not least is an unlikely person that isnt even a Christian I dont think. He is from Shri Lanka...whereever that is...But he is a thinker, and a man that is in search of harmony and peaceful cohabitation with all and everything around him....He is a very smart man and I could learn much from him by just observing.
It seems in all of this post I have neglected to mention what this great thing is that God has showed me. God has shown me the state of Modern American Christianity and has shown me it has come up wanting. We have left the commandments of Love your neighbor and perverted it into Love your neighbor if he is enough like you that he dont irritate or annoy you. Modern Christianity has traded Brotherhood and unity into a small celled self righteous terrorist organization that slanders and condemns everyone who does not share their self righteous Jihad if you will. I do not wish to be called a Christian anymore because of what that has become. Christian is just another word for self righteous judge. I wish to just be known as a Servant of Jesus Christ and nothing more. For in reality I am nothing more than a man who wants to love like Jesus loved and forgive like Jesus forgives. Beond that, in Me, Jim the man, there is nothing good nor worth mentioning.

Today was a pretty good day..Got up at about nine AM. Kim and I took off for a day of food , fun and Christmas shopping. We put a few things on lay away for the kids, then decided to get ourselves something, we got a combo scanner/printer/copier. Its gonna be our Christmas present to eaChother.
We had a coupon for a steak meal at a place in Beckley. Nothing like dead cow for food. I loved it, Kim got seared foul flesh. Got really full.
Then on the way home we stopped at a coffee/tea house called the Calidonia, Got their trademark deserts and allot of coffee. Man I had a wonderful day today.
At the moment I am talking to my good friend Jess. She is from the land of Cheese and the Packers. A cool lady if I do say so myself.
I guess its off to work for me in the morning....Im looking foreward to it....I love work. Although I feel like there is something I am not doing, something that is just not right.....something I am missing. I checked the normal things such as did i close the door, do I have pants on , did i close the fridge door.....stuff like that. All is in order.
Maybe i am just tired and need to relax and chat with my friend here and listen to some soothing music and.....Oh , thats what i am doing, just need the camomile tea and im all set...Nite www.

SO far today

Topic: My day today
Well , its only 9:41 am and so far my day has been a bit strange. I got a call earlier from one of the bosses at work telling me to NOT COME IN TODAY because I am already on overtime...I had to explain to her that today and tomorrow are my days off. She sounded a bit embarrassed and said "oops did I wake you up?" When I told her yes, she said "Oh, go back to bed, sorry." But the strange part, the dream she was interrupting was: I was back in Newcomerstown Ohio and for some reason I worked for my Aunt Barbara, It was my day off of work from working for her but I was going to visit her, She told me that I was off of work today and didnt need to show up....THEN the phone rings and wakes me up and it was my boss telling me the very same thing.
More to come as it happens.

another good one

I cant believe it, I have had another excellent day. This is three in a row. Everyone was at everyones throat today, Yesterday to male employees got into a fight, and then today two women. Sadly one of the women that was fighting was the one that gave me the excellent advice that got me to feeling happy and stress free at work.
Im enjoying a happy talk with my old buddy Wayno. I miss talking with him, but work has been sort of draining me. I try to get him to understand he has lived the life I have dreamed of, but he still thinks he is boring.....Man, I wish I could be as boring as him, then I would really have some fun.
Looking foreward to work tomorrow, I love my job. I like the people I work with. Don and Gabriel is pretty cool people. Don is the thinker, He is I believe from India cause he has a cool accent. He knows allot of different languages, Hes really smart and a dang nice person. Gabriel is my little mexican buddy, I call him Hermano Chiqita..which i think means little brother. I also like everyone else there.
Need to get to bed now, its twelve O four in the morning.....but im enjoying my icq chat with Wayno. Maybe I can catch him on here tomorrow night. So much to do, not enough time in the day to do it.
I thank God he puts such cool people in my life.

A good day.

I had a very very good day today at work. This is the second one in a row that stood out as better than normal.
Still a bit of tension with a close family member but its getting better.
Got to witness to a boy at work today. He asked how I could stay so positive when we was so bizzy...I said because I am a christian and I know at the end of the day, no matter how hard that day was, Im still a child of the Father.
Last week a Christian girl at work told me some of the best advice I could have gotten. It was this: "You can choose what kind of day you are going to have, you can choose to have a good day, or choose to have a bad one. A good attitude or a bad one." Good advice.
