On the condition of anonymity... (Part 2)

I've tried this type of post before and got OUTSTANDING results. So, I'm seeing if it will work a second time with a new twist.

First, I've got a confession.

When I was in high school, I was a very active member of my mother's church. I was an usher, a sunday school teacher, a choir member (youth and men's), a FTH director and there was talk of making me into a preacher.

I also wanted to be a sportswriter.

I had a decision to make.

Did I want a Monday through Friday, 9-to-5 job and then spend every weekend and most of my weekday nights at church serving god while taking the steps to become a preacher?

or

Did I want to pursue the dream of being a sportswriter?

By now, you know which path I picked. I don't think God is mad at me but I'm sure he is tapping his fingers to see if I've had a change of heart. Right now, I'm sticking with the sportswriter gig but I'll always wonder what type of effect I would have on people if I became a preacher. This internal discussion started after I made my last blog entry.

I guess there is no time like the present to find out.

So, here's the plan.

Today, I entreat you to confess at least one of your sins (you can confess more if you choose). We've all got skeletons in our closet and I'm providing a safe environment to repent. It will only be between you, me and God. The only catch is that you must do it ANONYMOUSLY.

The prayer meeting starts right now!

I don't think my sin is unlike many others, but one of the Commandments says, "Do not be envious of your neighbor's house. Do not be envious of your neighbor's wife, his slave, his maid, his ox, his donkey, or anything else that is your neighbor's." It's sometimes hard to see other success and not want something for yourself, something greater!

I think God is proud of you and your decision because so much hell would have encompassed your work if this was not what God wanted.

damn guessing from the responses to your last confessional entry, i'm sure to be entertained.
i'll plead the 5th and not put my business out there on front st. for all the neighbors to see.... but i understand there are others who need to get somethings off their chest...soooo let the confessing begin.

I don't think God is mad at you. If everyone did the same thing, the world would be boring. Maybe your purpose right now is to show people that you can be a Christian and work in the world. And that there's nothing wrong with being a child of God and acting like it.

I had sex with a 43 year old woman once...and loved every second of it.

I am jealous of women I don't even know because I fear that my current love interest may be more interested in them than me. I don't even have any evidence of this...envy sucks as does insecurity.

I feel guilty about doing things I know/knew are not good things to do. And that's all I have to say about that.

Sherlon Christie said...

@serial dater...you're going to need at least a good hour with the lord to repent.

@4EverJennayNay...I know. I'm leaving it in God's hands as to my future!

@ladynay...Are you trying to get me to get on a plane? I need to do some traveling. We could start on those children...(smile)

@mdubb...not really...i've gotten some anonymous posts. I guess people don't feel the need to hide anymore...so the ministry is working. Praise God!

..well for one...you confessed that you wanted to be a preacher at one point...that's not really a sin, dude and I don't believe God is mad you. He created us with a free will. If it's your call to preach , then preach you will. And you don't have to be behind a pulpit to minister,in fact, you shouldn't be because everyone that really needs God isn't in the church. But I digress. :-) As for me...I slept with a married man who is like 20 years older than me. He said he was seperated from his wife...and I knew I didn't fully believe him, yet did it any way. I felt bad about it for a minute , but I'm past it now.

Sherlon Christie said...

@miss a...never too late. I think I already know all your sins. You couldn't possibly have any more? (Smile).

@anonymous. Jobs are hard to come by these days. I don't think that is anything really bad...more like unfortunate, though.


@mdubb...O.K...

@anonymous...I've never thought about sleeping with a married person...actually I don't think I would ever do that. But you have confessed and are sorry. Good for you!
