$2 bible

i had dinner tonight with a friend and told her all about my $2 bible. i started going to church in high school. no one ever told me that i had a choice for or against jesus. they just "did" church like mainstream america. in 2 years of going to hang out with everyone on sunday nights, no one said anything. so when someone finally did i decided not to take their word for it.. or even take a pastors word because he carried the title. i went to a half price book store and bought my used $2 bible. not to go into more details of that..

why do we go with the flow? why do we do what everyone else is doing? its easy.. we dont want to stick out.. we want to be accepted... we want to be loved! jesus was hated when he lived on earth, he was kicked out of places and cities, he was made fun of for being different and beaten for going against the flow. whether you believe he was/is god or not... that one man changed the world forever !
