Hello, my Name Is Randy Wood and I am a........

Do you ever struggle?

I have been a "Christian" for over 22 years now. I have been in "ministry" for about 20 years now.

There are certain things in the "Christian Community" that are Taboo. Just don't talk about it. or use little things like, "I'll be praying for you" to walk around the subject at hand only to never give it another thought.

Person who struggles with belief in God

Ouch! For all of you preachers that have say or have said the ole, "I know, that I know that I know that I know......" Well, guess what I struggle with KNOWING.

person who struggles with being a good husband

Yep, I am a dude.. and most dudes struggle with it. I asked a fellow bus driver a few weeks ago how he stayed happily married for 67 years!! he said, "well, happy is not a good word..... I have learned to listen to her and shut up" yep... i struggle with the "shut up" part!

person who struggles with a bad temper

person who struggles with my emotions

person who struggles with intolerant "christians"

person who struggles with addiction..... of a lot of stuff!

I struggle with the idea of 350 lbs preachers preaching about "gett'n free" when they are bound up in their fat gut!

I struggle with so, so much more.... but I guess I better not elaborate more or I might ruin my "christian profile" LOL!

Hello, my name is Randy Wood and i am a person who dares to laugh at himself.

How bout you?

Intollerance of modern christianity

The Christmas season is upon us, which means the Christians are gettin' mad.

Oh, yeah, I'm a Christian. Should I be mad right now?

Evidently I should. I should be very angry about these Atheists Holiday adds, which promote a secular approach to Christmas the holidays.

Silly, hugh?

Why are some Christians so intolerant?

Who is right?

We study God (Theology) really?? God? we study Him? We have Him figured out?

Is he a "Southern God"?

Is He a "Yankee" God?

No, No I Got it He is an American God.... Wrong!

What denomination is He?

Cmon, admit it. We all think we are "right" and they (they being other religions) are wrong.

Growing up i spent most of the weekends at my Grandma's house. I would sleep on a pallet on the floor and she would talk to me about God with a since of colorful love. She was so real, so authentic. She was a "Jehovah's Witness".

Later when I became a "christian" I was told they (my Grandma and her "cult") were wrong and going to hell.

I even remember saying that behind a pulpit while preaching one time.

I was... Intollerant.

I was a bigot.

Do I agree with their belief system? Nope.

Do I think they are wrong? Nope.

Think about it. When you worship God on the day that you set aside to worship Him, what does He see?

Once again. I believe in God. I believe that he knows me inside and out. he loves me a whole lot more than I love Him. The rest.... its up to Him.

My Grandma? Yep, He loved her too. :)

Context, Concept and Precept

Context is everything.....

The airline announced a 45 minute delay and everybody on board was getting ticked. By the time they got to Sacramento, the flight attendant explained that there would be another 45 minute delay. People could get off and walk around and reboard in 30 minutes.

Everybody got off the plane except for one man who was blind. He regularly traveled on this airline and the pilot knew him. The pilot called him by name and said, “Keith, we’re in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs for awhile?”

Keith replied, “No thanks, but maybe my dog, Roy, would like to stretch his legs.”

Picture this: All the people in the gate area came to a completely quiet standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with the Seeing Eye dog. The pilot was even wearing sunglasses.

People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, they also were trying to change airlines!!


Context is everything... Including what we percieve and believe about GOD..... Part 2 coming soon
