"Women and Children First, My Tribute" . . .

i've always believed there was a good reason for that phrase...

i just finished a bottle of wine and i'm thanking
my new "pastor" friends Bill and Joe, for turning me on,
and for forgiving me.
They know if they don't i'll turn them in.
i'd change their names to protect their innocence,
But they seem to be man enough to accept their guilt.

i found Christ with a cigarette and a drink in my hand,
over 25 years ago, Man, i thought i was a "Bad Ass".
i know i don't "need" that now, i have maniacal thought's
without being drunk,
but i am little loose
and brave enough to tell my "Truth"

I want to begin by saying . . .
Don't always believe what you read in the Bible.
The mysteries are deeper
than what "Men" will teach you.
God told me a "long" time ago
that "Women and Children",
will bring about this goofy "Revolution"
us men have been
"Talking" about for centuries"
Every woman "knows" a man
will "never" fess up that he's lost,
and we've been lost for centuries.
Men like to play Tool Time and "tinker" around
but are procrastinators by nature.
It's time we begin to "resolve" our issues
and work together as "One".

"Kids, Ya Gotta Love Em'" . . .

Children are
Natural Lovers and Worshippers of God !!!
They "Remember" God more than we do
because they're closer to Him.
Children are fearless,
we teach them to fear out of our own fears.
That's where all the "Baggage" comes from...
and their Faith far trancends ours.
They just "Believe God".
i'd pray with a child over an adult any day...

"This One's For The Ladies" . . .

Now Women, i LOVE women,
Beside looks and smells . . .
Women constantly teach me how to Love,
From my mother, aunts, mother in law, grandmother,
friends sisters, girlfriends, my wife,
my daughters and all my close friends are women,
i'm learning to Love.
God knows i don't get it all,
but women are patient, they've learned to be.

One woman in particular
taught me all about God's Grace and Love.

Three women ( Evelyn, Laura and Kathie )
taught me more about Intercessory Prayer,
not by preaching about it, but by "modeling" it.

i met Matt Redman and he told me "Praise"
was singing "Love Songs" to a Saviour,
but it was a woman named Mary
in the Bible that demonstrated "True Worship" to Christ.
To me "She" was the "Beloved" not John,
but guess who wrote and interpreted the Bible ?
More girlfriends of mine, Laura, Jamie, Liz,
Ashley, Kayla and Katie.
Showed me how to lose myself before God.

The more i get involved with reading blogs
from all over the world, the more i'm convinced,
The time for "Male Leadership" is about over.
i mean "Complete Male Leadership".
They'll still have their place.
But the church would benefit
from a female point of view.
Most men on blogs and from the pulpit
are "pompous, self righteous, know it all's"
Hey, that sounds like me . . .
Most have No sense of humor, ( Not me )
and they cry like babies when they're picked on.

It's the women that are being
Transparent and "Really Real".
It's just "hard" for men to deal with the "emotion".
i always thought women were
able to Love Jesus more intimately.
Sure, Jesus was a carpenter and supposedly
this rugged "manly man".
i think guys just have that "homophobe"
thing happening, except for slapping
each others asses for playing a good game ...
Now "That's" alright ...

"More Praise" . . .

Every man knows women
"work" harder than men anyday.
Always for less pay and no recognition
except for "Hallmark" moments.

Read It and Weep Guys.

We may be physically stronger,
But women have more endurance when it counts.
They're loving, nurturing, patient
and have grace under pressure.


Final Thought for tonight,
if you want to take it from a man.

"You're Equal to men, and don't be afraid of them" . . .

i am telling you the "Truth",
You have the "Power"
and it's not between your legs, and men know it.
Most are terribly afraid of your minds,
and the others are bullies. Try a "Kick in The Nuts".
That usually cures that .

Give God a handle on your "emotions",
and "Change This World".
