something i cant even begin to explain
i think maybe there are a few of you out there reading this that may know my story prior to my life in Christ.
there is such a lost world, and the church talks about going out and feeling their pain and knowing and helping them....
but the truth is, they do not really dont do it any real way for a long period of time....
now dont get me wrong , there are some groups out there really trying...but those lost scared young girls seeing their body and their god given sex as the only way to know the true closness of love....but never getting what they really need
and those boys who dont know how to balance the manhood coming down the line and the fear and paint hey feel, they go so over the line they dont know how to get back again. they think anger is an emotion of maturity, they have no guides...no role models
i often see we are so 'holier than thou'
kinda like the scientist who knows the secrets of genetics but doesnt want to 'lower' himself to our level and share his knowledge
if we came down, stopped worrying how we 'look' to other christians and just opened up and showed all our flaws and how they are beautifully covered by the blood of Christ...
we arent any better, in fact we are often worse, for as James says 'if one knows the truth and does not do it, that is sin.'
we sin more in our knowledge of better than we did before our eyes were open.

this is what i wish more christians did....open up and be honest....
NIN and all that music we 'protest' and yell about does something that we as christians dont do....speak honestly and openly about the feelings and pain we all as people go through
Yes, Christ brings hope and redemption....but when you are in the midst of sever depression and you just woke up again beside another stranger who you thought would help ease the fear and pain, hope and redemption sound phony and unreal.
the first lines of the song
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only
thing that's real
for so many, not just teens, but so many adults and even children they do this....it is the only feelings they have left
they arent going to walk into a church
they are not going to come in to a 'outreach potluck'
they are not going to decide one day that the Bible holds the answer
not unless we get down there in the hole....
curl up and hold them
then lead them out and into the Sonlight...
and that is why i am frustrated with my life...and my church....
