couple of questions.

SO I am balancing 3 blogs right now but trying to remain true in all. I know myspace tends to get me a little wild becasue lots of those are friends from the past.

This one is almosta different setting without the wild side. Peaceful.

I can talk about different things, like my church.

I am having a question, about just that. My church is a charasmatic church, non denomenational. Cant spell today. ANyway. What I have scene is that it almost turns people off when they see things they dont get. Like jumping up and down and people yelling out becasue the holy spirit strikes them. I am not speaking ill of anyone or judging them for this. My thing is this. It turns people away when they dont understand what is going on. Like if I where to bring a friend that might freak them out. Now does that freak me out? NO! But does it mean God is not speaking to me or that I am not Christian enough? I know the answer is no, then I go to Why? I often get goose bump type things but it isnt like the others yelling out and what not. My motto is to keep it simple.

My other thing is I am in a bible study of older Christian women. They have walked in this holy path longer and I see they condemn themselves for every little short coming. These are women I think are wonderful women I will probably never be as good as them so how can I live up to that.

My thing is bringing many good people to the Lord but I want to go into a bar and save everyone of them, a place these women would never go. So how can I balance that. My dad works in a strip joint. He sees how the Lord has changed me but if I went in all high and mighty I wouldnt be able to convey his message at all. I am not saying these women are perfect, or behave that way. I just want to be realistic.

Jesus hung out with prostitutes and tax collecters, should I not try that first? NOt so extreme but still be me? and be with my real people as a real person?

So where is the balance?
