I know that this post may challenge a lot of people, i know that the title alone may send some running in the opposite direction, but i beg several minutes of your time to read to the end and answer the question. (honestly)

Listening to the radio yesterday I heard someone ask a question I have heard numerous times in the past, but yesterday was the very first time it made me sick to my stomach.

The question simply put out to the radio audience, was “If there was one thing you could change about your significant other, what would that be?”

OK. That is not the question you NEED to answer or NEED to be asking.

Why?

Simple. We have become one of the most self absorbed, self centered, self focused, self indulgent, get the point, generations, cultures ever. ME, ME, Me, I, I, imac, iphone, you catch my drift? The saddest thing is that the Church has taken on the same disguise. The Church has disrobed filthy rejected, disgusted, broke, and all we can stand and throw up is tales of How I Can Change You In 7 Days, You Need To Fix Yourself, and my favorite Give Me This or That and You Will Change.

I think we forgot what is like to be outside. We forgot what it must be like to be so desperate for life, for fulfillment, for a hug, for someone to say I love you, for it all to go away that you sell your body, that you smoke dope, that you leave what is natural and look to what is unnatural.

THE REAL QUESTION IS: What would I change about myself?

Maybe then, those that are far from God will feel more comfortable, more at ease and less judged to share, to love, to learn, to live, and lend. Maybe they will want to know that a PERFECT GOD loves IMPERFECT PEOPLE just like them, just the way WE are!

Let’s force ourselves to PURGE, VOMIT and rid ourselves of the toxins, the foreign objects, selfishness, self-hate, self-loathing, judgment, cowardice, jealousy, greed, etc.

So what would you change? Barf Bag anyone?
