I'm Really Sorry But You're Gonna Find God In The Other Stuff, Too. Religious Trappings Are Nice. So

i'm really sorry but you're gonna find god in the Other Stuff, too. religious trappings are nice. so is tradition. it's good to have buildings to go to and things to wear and holy texts to read and prescripted songs to sing. it's comforting to have lineage and instructions. bless the treasure map.

but god's Elsewhere, too: out on the tips of skinny branches and wading in the weeds, left of center, left field.

so if you decide to test this theory and go rambling around calling out innumerable, unpronounceable names, know that you won't have to look too hard. divinity does a terrible job concealing itself. god willing you will take a shine to the idea that god happens everywhere, in everything, all the time.

I do not feel like a sheep of the Good Shepherd, I feel like a semi-feral kitten Jesus got out of a car engine after hours of me running around screaming in the undercarriage and clawing anyone who tried to rescue me.

and yet we dance!

The Jesus and cat commission saga,,,, it continues,,,,

You don't have to be like other christians. If you're different from them, that's ok. Being a christian means believing in Jesus, following Him, loving God and your neighbour. You're not following other christians, you're following God. Literally everyone can become a christian. Jesus is for everyone, not just a certain group of people.
