What the hell......??!!??

Never invoke the gods unless you really want them to appear. It annoys them very much.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

-----------------------------------------------------------

the Sacred One can be so inconvenient

it seems he wants to turn the world upside down

it seems he wants to turn me upside down

now what is it about that?

it is so wonderful to be right

It is so amazing to be “a winner” in life

this game we play of domination

is so convenient

if you are in power

if you have money

if you have position

if you can present yourself as righteous and holy

but it is not so convenient…

for the poor

those afflicted by mental illness

for immigrants

or minorities

or even many women

and when domination is flaunted by those in the government

and when domination is embraced by those who would call themselves ‘christian’

the insult to Christ is magnified

Christ calls us to union with God

Christ calls us into communion with one another

Christ’s way is about giving, forgiving

Christ’s way is about serving

He showed us the way

there in the dirt

washing feet

I’d like to see a congressman

In the dirt

washing feet

Hell, I’d settle for a little compassion

I’d like to see the CEO who makes $10,000 an hour

washing the feet of that worker who makes $7 some an hour

Hell, I’d settle for a little equality

even a little

how about $15 an hour

I know, I know, the “job creator” would make only $9,990 an hour

but I am sure such a sacrifice would be acceptable to the Beloved

I can’t even escape the revolution myself

there are so many ways in which my life needs to be turned

upside down

the reality is Jesus looks on

and says

as the legislators legislate their version of morality

as the choirs sing

and the preachers preach

and the righteous strut

what the hell!

so many say

“come Lord Jesus”

do they really want that?

Really?
