So heavenly minded that you are no earthly good

I can remember hearing my old Pastor say don't be so Heavenly minded that you are no earthly good, and I wondered what he meant. Then I experienced a holyier than thou saint and knew what he meant. In the secular world that's what someone who puts on airs is called. You've seen it before. Skirt may be sweeping the ground, doilie on there head, they don't talk to unsaved folk, and they cannot carry on a conversation without saying Jesus,or God every five seconds. I do not know where we as children of God got the notion that we can get closer to God by separating ourselves from our co-workers, and strangers. We have become a bubble generation surrounded by an invisible forcefield of holy latex separating us from connecting with the person who is standing next to us. If we truly were following the teachings and character of Jesus then we would know that he never lived His life in this manner. He put Himself in the midst of the people. Whether He was walking by the seaside looking for disciples,or he was in the Temple preaching to the passerbys about the goodness of God. Jesus never thought that anyone was too destitute to be saved by God. We have to learn to come out of our Holy bubbles and fellowship with others. It does not mean that we are being heathens, if anything we are showing our unsaved friends, family, and co-workers that we not only have love for the saved but the unsaved.... Some people may never have a desire to step into a church;therefore, as saved, sanctified believers of God we have to bring the church and God's love to them. Let them see His light in our laugh, in our smile, and in how we treat our fellow man. Just a thought.

If Loving You is Wrong then You Gotta Go

I have learned that as a single christian woman that when God speaks to my spirit and gives me that familiar nudge and says Uh,uh my child danger ahead with that one. I need to listen. There has not been one time when God was wrong when he has given me that nudge. Whether it is a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach when a new love interest says something in conversation,or I get a flash back of a past love with similar characteristics. I used to try and reason with God and have a conversation with Him that went sort of like this...."Lord, anyone can change, He just has not met the right woman to show him the error in his ways",LOL. Foolish me. I learned that God did not tell me to not go further with a particular person because they were a bad person,but because they would not be able to appreciate me for who I was,or treat me like the gem that I am.... So ladies and gentlemen when you get that intuitive nudge from God listen LOUD and CLEAR.

Would you date you???

Would you date you?? is the question that runs through my mind when I think of all your lies, and how you have stood me up for the last time.
Would you date you??? when you cannot return a call, or even remember to give a darn about my birthday at all... Would you date you??? When you forget to open my door, or you stare too long and too hard at the waitress as she picks up the napkin from the floor.
Would you date you??? If you refused to meet my folks for the 5th time, or give me some lame excuse about falling asleep during our scheduled dinner time. Would you date you??? when you tell me that you intend to beat my kid. If he continues to keep whining about sleeping in his own bed... Would you date you??? When you fail to put together the computer desk,and repeatedly leave the front room in catastrophic mess.
I am sure that you would not dare to date you, or even come near to dating you, so that's why I have decided that it is time to say that we are through...
