I fear God, and hope He has a sense of humor; otherwise, I'm toast. Literally...-John Gregory Parks

The Conflicted Christian

        People often say, “You consider yourself a Christian, or at least say you have a belief in God, but you seem, at times, be struggling in life, and spiritually.. How do you explain this?”

            I don’t.

​            Really folks, you don’t think God has a sense of humor?  Look around. After all, God was a kid once too, wasn’t He?

            Hmm, there is an interesting thought. If God always was, always has been, and will always be, how old was He, when He was He, in the beginning? I mean if God is eternal, then He has always been the same age, if He has an age, that is.  Or maybe, the creation story, which would have started with a big bang, was just a 2-year-old throwing a temper tantrum.

            Look I believe in God. How could you not? Look around. Other than the ex-wife, how could this just be one big accident? It can really. Someone must be in control; obviously we’re not.

            Look, I’m transitioning. If I guy can become a girl, a girl can become a guy, and judging them is wrong; how can my outlook on life be judged? After all, I believe in God, I’m not God; and really, who’d want that job?

            So…I’m going to do the thing I think God wants me to do even if it doesn’t make sense to me. Now when I stand before Him and have to answer for all I’ve done, written, and said, you may want to pull up a chair; it may be painfully funny. I’m sure the Easter joke, and some of the other religious writings are inappropriate, but I hope that God just shook His head and said, Oy vey.”  
​
            Which is the reaction I get most of the time….

    I only worry about the things I can control; as I control nothing, I have no worries.
