Never Compare and Do Not Dare
Never Compare and Do Not Dare
What we should do is never compare;
Or ever be a big show off do not dare;
A good priest with us God will share.
Jim Horn
Please forgive me. When you have
been following the same priest every
Sunday for twelve years things do
become habit forming. What you
must realize is that the congregation
if God's not yours. Heaven has been
and always will be in a permanent state.
We and the world are in a temporary state.
Wind will blow. Animals and things will be
destroyed. We will be born and die.
That is not a bad idea and I will think about
it. That is what I wish you would have said.
You took my comments personally which you
never should have done. I was only trying to
helpful and thoughtful so I thought. You were
hearing what I was saying but not hearing what
I was telling you. We do have a dire need for
counseling, advising and recommending.
Suppose if instead of saying that is the
way Father Dave used to do it I said that
is the way God would have done it. Would you
have been mad at me then.
What we must realize is a priest is human
just like we are. You are right. We tend to either
criticize, condemn and complain or put people
on a pedestal. If that pedestal may be to high,
they may fall off of it.
I am going to have to mention a way someone
else does things so do not get upset with me.
Bishop Curry created a book called, "Crazy
Christians," back in 2013. I am reading it
again for the third time. I took the course
along with the book. Read it if you have not
read it already. I am returning back to my reading.
Just remember. If you cannot say anything good
about someone never say anything at all. What we
give out is what we will receive back in return.
Your comment upset me so I am upset with you.
We are both in God's game together and must play
by the same rules which are His. God bles us both.
In Crist, Jim Horn
