Thoughts In The Shower While Waiting For The Volumizing Shampoo To Take Effect

- A choice to do nothing is still a choice….and it will have consequences.
- Everything comes to him who waits. Sometimes that includes things you didn’t really want to come, and often the timing is way bad.
- The second hardest thing about any project is the planning (the hardest thing is the disaster that occurs when you don’t plan).
- You can lead a Christian to the church, but you can’t make him worship – even if he is dying of spiritual thirst.
- Prayer is not helping God direct the cosmos or venting our spiritual perspectives. It is breathing the breath of God.
- There is an all-important difference between being passionate for Jesus and spiritualizing our hysteria.
- There is such a thing as colorectal theology, which involves the placement of the theologian’s head.
Okay, can we make sense of these soapy revelations? Here we go:
If you just sit back and let life happen, you will be rewarded with a mixed bag of good and bad experiences. Life will lack meaning or purpose, and you will often feel victimized by circumstances. The question is usually who to blame rather than why.
A true believer will value the life-giving Holy Spirit, and as a result will meditate on the paths available to us. Prayer becomes a lifestyle and worship flows naturally to the one who is love-stricken with Jesus and his way. This person’s theology is experiential more than academic, seeing everything in the picture rather than focusing on just one corner of it.
In my robe now, meditation time over. Oh, by the way, the shampoo didn’t seem to work…
