First a little Burger King spoofing fun, then a modest little reminder that religion killed Jesus…
Until Jesus returns, we will always have to face the difference between man-made religion and authentic relationship with Christ.
But isn’t religion a good thing? Nope. Religious people killed Jesus. And the “infidels.” And those they labeled heretics. And the Anabaptists. And suspected witches. And a few churches I know.
Religion is different than relationship. Religion is man’s search for God. Relationship is God’s search for man.
I hate maintenance. This is in defiance to everything my fatherfaithfully tried to instill in me. I want the dishes to morph into the dishwasher, the oil to change itself, and the lawn to live, but not grow. So you can imagine how thrilled I was to get a reminder in the mail that I had an appointment with a treadmill, about 11 electrodes, and a sadistic nurse with a razor and sandpaper. “Stress EKG.” Ha! I don’ need no stinkin’ treadmill to tell me I got stress.
It’s not about the treadmill, mind you. I get on one about five times a year, whether I need to or not. It’s about getting on the treadmill at the doctor’s office when I haven’t been on one at the gym in a while. I needed some time to work out before the exam so the exam wouldn’t make me look like I hadn’t been working out. Sort of like cleaning the house before the house cleaner comes.
I found this link on Josh Harris’ blog site to “Cletus Take the Reel” – a spoof on Carrie Underwood’s hit song. I had never heard of Tim Hawkins before, but he’s hilarious.
If you’re in the South Plains (Texas) area, Tim will be here in January.
