Not Suitable for a Sunday Sermon

I was thinking about this Saturday afternoon, mulling over the loss by my Connecticut Sun to the New York Liberty. Not that it had anything to do with the WNBA but then decided since I set so many teeth on edge on a regular and repetitive basis without ever even trying, posting this for a Sunday might be perceived as sucking for a bruise.

It was and is not my intention to incite or inflame. I was raised a Roman Catholic and now I'd say I'm 'spiritual' rather than 'religious' or of any one denomination. If you think that was an attempt at a disclaimer, you're correct. 

Every organized religion, and a couple of the somewhat disorganized ones, has sacred writings, scriptures if you will. No matter the region, or the religion, it's part of our human genome, the need to be a part of something bigger. 

Be it the Koran, the Old Testament, the New Testament, or the latest Roman a clef by Danielle Steel, there's a narrative and place to go look for details. When you argue a matter of theology and someone says, 'You can look it up!' the texts are what they're referring to.

There's the blood of the Lamb, the descent of the dove, the tongues of fire, the burning bush and an almost unending number of symbols and signs that The Lord (however you perceive Them to be) uses to get our attention and pass along the Word.

What if we were the first generation of people on this planet who had a Deity? I don't pretend to know what all of those before us had, I'm just saying what if we're the first and Our God uses the tools we have today in much the way as in the days of old. 

Someone I encountered recently speculated how God might communicate the Ten Commandments if They had to use text.

Perhaps:
1. no1 b4 me. srsly.
2. dnt wrshp pix/idols
3. no omg's
4. no wrk on w/end (sat 4 now; sun l8r)
5. pos ok - ur m&d r cool
6. dnt kill ppl
7. :-X only w/ m8
8. dnt steal
9. dnt lie re: bf
10. dnt ogle ur bf's m8. or ox. or dnkey. myob.

M, pls rite on tabs & giv 2 ppl. ttyl, JHWH. ps. wwjd?

For my part, I wonder "What would you ask if you had just one question?"
