In the Beginning
Rev Up Ministries was created as a way to share my warped view of my faith. It is a slightly different way of looking at real life issues from a Christian perspective… but since that's the same load of tripe you read on all the other Christian websites, let me add that I hope I can annoy the hell out of you as well. Literally. However, since everyone is not a Christian, I also hope I can be entertaining enough to have all the heathens out there read some of my tripe, without causing minor (or major) consternation. I realize that anything I write may be followed by an influx of hate email. But that's to be expected. If you're not energetic enough to send hate email that's okay too. If you're an atheist that's also fine. We all have to believe in something. The difference between us is that you believe nothing created us and I believe God did. I'm pretty sure one of us is right. There may be a few other things we don't see the same way, but just keep in mind, we still have a lot in common. For example, everybody flatuates. I'd rather call it farting, but a lot of people find that offensive. So I've decided not to use it in my blog. Suffice it to say, we all have the same bodily functions. When we start from a commonality like that, there's no telling how much we can agree on!
I love being a Christian. However, I don't do a very good job at being one. But it's still a spectacular way to live your life. I can only imagine how good things might be if I ever figure out how to do it right! In the not-so-mean-time I hope I can write something that makes you smile, improves your day, or motivates you - and hopefully, avoid the necessity to send me hate email. Maybe I can give you food for thought, or indigestion. Or maybe I can just watch my mailbox fill up with hate email, get depressed and go cry in my beer, as you, no doubt, are hoping. But the joke's on you my friend, because I don't drink beer! I hate beer! So I would never have any to cry in! I do have a little wine, but it's used mostly for cooking. So I probably can't cry in that either. I'm really not much of a crier or a drinker. But I am passionate about sharing the effect Jesus has made in my life. So if your life sucks, or you just want to avoid hell as an afterlife destination, please consider His offer of eternal life as an alternative. I hope to see you there - heaven that is.
I'm not a real fan of extremely hot weather, and I don't like the dark. I even have difficulties adjusting to losing an hour of light when we 'fall back' for daylight savings. But you're free to make your own choice regarding hell. I'm just adamant about having a good life insurance policy for the afterlife. So consider Jesus. He changes lives. I know from personal experience. And while I'm not perfect, I am blessed… blessed to know that I serve a real God that really loves me. There you go - the Christian dribble that you always get from all us Jesus followers. I wonder why we all do that?
Just remember, we're only followers of Jesus. We're not actually Him. So when I screw up, don't blame Jesus. He's not like me. He's God and He cares about you. I'm not that caring. That's why I follow Jesus. He fixes me when I'm broken... and I'm in His repair shop a lot! So don't hate on Jesus if Christians aren't perfect. He loves you - and I'm trying. Don't believe me? Just read my blog and you'll see how trying I can be. You might even find Jesus hiding in there somewhere.
FYI
Hey genius, the whole point of this blog is the blogging. You’ll find the blogging on the Word Up page. So go there! This is just the intro page.
You'll find lots of articles there that are, well, rather elucidating. Much of my procivity in writing these dissertations is to remove the obfuscation surrounding certain theoretical persuasions of the scientific community, while concurrently encouraging the venerated faithful. And I thought if I used a couple really big words on this page you might actually think I know what I’m talking about when you get to those pages. I think I can safely say it’s a diverting collection of expository oeuvre that can only be described as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
