Nah, God is a Linux user and the faith in Him comes from updating and compiling a new kernel.

I love this post a lot. for multiple reasons…
one. I love crayons so I love that they are the tool of choice
two. I think that this problem also exists to someone who is just trying to describe who God is to someone who doesn't know Him. My parents are not saved and my dad doesn't understand why I am so crazy in love with this God guy and its so hard to explain who He is in words.
three. sucktacular. enough said.

Really like this post, both points you make. Have only just discovered your blog and am really enjoying it – funny and thought-provoking, a good and very readable combination!

Trees have now died in his publishing process. But they gave their lives for a worthy cause. They did not die in vain. Oh no, my friend. Now they only inspire new life!

"he’s a hurricane and I have crayons."

This quote is so awesome. I am going to "borrow" it.

I feel so much better now. The hurricane/crayons thing was keeping me up at night.

I agree with your first point and it is why I can't stand the song "Listen To Our Hearts"...

"We will use the words we know to tell You what an awesome God You are, but words are not enough to tell You of our love so listen to our hearts"

I always go: Really?? You think our love of God is more indescribable than his awesomeness?? Really???

(I got linked over here and have been reading through from the beginning and there have been a couple posts which almost made me disregard that I would be commenting over a year late but this was the first to push me over the edge ;p)

He comes in one year later and puts in two cents:

This is definitely something I struggle with, not as a writer, but as a performer. I'm pretty sure I'm not the type that the church allows to sing because they can't say no. In fact, I probably can't be because I don't like to sing in church.

No matter how much singing is one of my most heartfelt expressions of worship, the moment I get up in front of an audience, it ceases to be about God, and it's all about me. I'd like to think I'm giving my best, but it's mostly about how good I look or sound. I still haven't figured out how to make things right.

This may not fall under Casually writing books about God, but the people who somehow manage to write sixteen books a year… Like Elizabeth George, or Kay Arthur. Not just the crappy Every Young Womens, Every Childs Every Mom’s editions, but like sixteen books a year on different topics… Like we really believe your doing that much writing, having a wonderful marriage, (as evidenced by the happy couple photo on the author bio on the back cover), and having a full time speak six out of seven days a week with travel… i think they have people writing for them… or they are so good, nothing ever needs to go to proof, or edit, or anything… just pure, straight to press awesomeness… problem is… the books are not awesome but that’s beside the point.

I love the fact that one mention of MS Word opened up the Mac vs PC debate – ha!

To throw in my 2 pennies worth – God uses Macs (isn’t there an entry somewhere about getting the best money can buy?) and OpenOffice (which is of course free but God loves it when we unite in a community to do good stuff)
