Spring Break
That's it
I am a Christian

It took some doing and inspirational talks with my good friend Kerrigan Skelly on Monday, but I finally took that step in my life. After a good long heartfelt chat at the ol' library steps, I saw the light my friends. I have shed my old ways and accepted Jesus Christ into my life!
It was so simple, that I could not believe I had not done it sooner. Think about it friends, "if it's not the God of the Holy Bible, the Holy Scripture," than you are worshiping a figment of your imagination. You are making something up in your own mind to suit your own needs.
There are only two options. There is Heaven or there is Hell. You either accept Jesus Christ into your life, the God of the Holy Bible, or you burn in a lake of fire. It is black or white, friends. How could it not be any clearer!
Do not think just because you call yourself a Christian, that you are a Christian. I do not want any of you bandwagon folks jumping aboard because Jesus returns in the near future. If you are a Christian, you follow the Bible to a T. Lose those nights fornicating and those nights of binge drinking! You are only digging your hole deeper with Satan's shovel!
Do not misrepresent my position as judging you, friends, because that is not what I am doing. I am not judging anyone, only preaching the good Word. I am preaching what you choose not to see by closing your eyes and choose not to hear by closing your ears. Wake up folks! Any longer and it will be too late!
You could learn from these friends of mine that stand out in front of the library steps. They may be few and far and in between with their visits, so keep an EAR out for their powerful and thought-provoking message. Their time has been cut to one day a week for two hours, so do not let those two hours of genuine interest in our spiritual well belling be FOR naught.
Show interest! Participate! Ask those questions from your scholarly journals and your so-called peer-reviewed essays. Cause trust me, friends, after they have shown you the error of your conclusive multi-source papers, repeatedly tested experiments and mountains of collaborating evidence, you really will not have anywhere else to look but the Bible.

I am glad you have found a religion that you feel is right for you. I am also glad that you have begun to develop a meaningful relationship with deity. (Continued…)

I hope this is a tongue-in-cheek parody. Those people, well meaning as they may be, are seriously disturbed.
If it isn't, thanks TEC, for yet another serving of religionist tripe. (Continued…)

Praise God Yazid! I look forward to rejoicing with you someday in heaven, but for now I am rejoicing with you here in Florida.
