Bull Pucky

There seems to be a perceived misperception about Christians. It's nothing new really. What surprises me is how it is still around, and that even Christians feel their suppose to be this way. Once you become a Christian, your gift of simple language is to be done away with, and replaced with the ever disrespectful Mr. Nice Guy. Bull Pucky.

Above all things, I am a man first, period. It is even more so now I have given my heart to Jesus. God is a God of love, who cares for all, but there is this twisted belief, just because he cares for all, he is striving for political correctness. Bull, I don't think the Pharisees would agree with the thought of him trying to be politically correct. Being politically correct is not the same as being caring enough to be honest.

The world of ours is full of atrocities. Nothing new when you look at history. The biggest atrocity is thinking and giving these evil people and their deeds permission to keep doing their evil. This is exactly what our society is doing every time we try to negotiate with someone who has done evil. Did Jesus negotiate with the merchants in the temple? NO! He physically threw them out. What the merchants had done was wrong, end of debate.

The bull pucky in today's ideology is so thick you could spread it around with a bull dozer. The saddest part is it comes from a small minority group of people who have gotten very noisy these days only because we let them. They have used their best weapon against us, guilt. They have made us feel guilty for not acting like their version of a loving God, when we disagree with their actions, and try and stop them. This is complete Bull, for the Bible clearly tells what is right and what is wrong.

Guilt has no power over us, except the power we give it. Guilt especially doesn't come from God. God uses conviction. When we sin, and we all do, God convicts us without any doubt. Guilt comes from others, or ourselves, and there is always a sense of doubt, or question. God only needs to tell us once, and forgives us when we ask. Others will keep telling us of our guilt even after they say they have forgiven us. God's punishment is just and set. By others, guilt is the punishment and unending.

Now is the time to do our part to eliminate the B.S. in our life, and world. You cannot do this by eliminating a word or two, but by using them as they were intended, to reveal a truth with honesty. Being politically correct is a fad destined to die like all fads. Honesty has stood the test of time, and without it, everything is just Bull Pucky.

Valentine's Day

Once a year we celebrate a special day to remember the ones we love, Valentine's Day. A day I find to be very sad and the reason so many couples are having problems. Such emphasis is put on one day, but if you truly love someone, I don't understand how you can't express that love every day.

The day doesn't even seem to be a day of real love. It's all about the buying of gifts. Plastic things that are quickly forgotten, and left to collect dust. Chocolates, which are gone over night, and flowers that wilt within a few days. I don't see how any of these things are truly a symbol of true everlasting love.

I have been blessed the last couple of decades to have a true love. A love that has grown to completeness. I use to say my love grows more and more each and every day, but that is no longer true. Like a fully grown fruit tree, producing nothing but delicious, my love is now full grown and complete. Our love is fully rooted, and strong enough to handle any storm. Producing fruit without fail.

Like a fully grown fruit tree, I will keep loving my wife until the farmer in charge of me, (God) says I am done. When I was young, love was exciting, but insecure. I don't miss those days for I have found peace, security, and comfort in my maturity. None of this is possible without compete love.

Thank you to my Love and everyday Valentine.

In Complete Love,
E.J. Bear

Been A While

It has been a while since I have posted anything up here, and I plan to get back in the habit once a week of posting an article or a short story. I don't know if there is anyone who is happening on to this blog by chance, but if there is I would sure like to know. First, to know someone is seeing this, and two, what you think. Thanks.

Sincerely,

E.J. Bear
