Isn't it strange?? (Thanks Dad!)

This is one of them emails that make you go hmmm... My dad sent it to me... & since I can reach more of you via my blog... I thought I'd post it here.

(Can you see the pictures? Because this is the first time I'm trying to copy & paste into a blog from email that has pictures. I know I could not have done this on 360!!)

IT  IS  STRANGE  ISN'T  IT....


Isn't it strange how a 20 dollar bill seems like such a large amount when you donate it to church , 
but such a small amount when you go shopping?

 

Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you're at church, and how short they seem when you're watching a good movie?

Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're praying but... 
you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?


Isn't it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of the Bible but 
how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel or ZANE GREY book?

Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games but 
they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in Church?

Isn't it strange how we need to know about an event for Church 2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, 
but we can adjust it for other events in the last minute?

 

Isn't it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share it with others;
but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?

 


Isn't it strange how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say but .
we question the words in the Bible?

Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven but... 
they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?

 

Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are forwarded right away but 
when we are going to send messages about God, 
we think about it twice before we share it with others?

 

IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT? Now that you've read this message, will you 
forward it to anybody that you consider a friend, family member or foe (enemy).

 


If you choose not to share His message you may deprive yourself from being blessed as well as depriving others.. 
who may need God in their life.

  2. The post does a good job of pointing out the modern Christian's apathy. Very few people are truly devoted Christians in thought and action, the rest of us need a kick in the butt every so often. Modern society has done a good job of undermining Christianity.

  4. Great blog and good thoughts, but so true. I know sometimes I find it hard to say the right words when praying too. I guess you just want to say the right things when talking to god.. Me, personally, I like sitting up front in church. Maybe not the front row, but 2nd or 3rd. I could never sit in the back row. Just seems so impersonal
