good friday pizza and beer

Yesterday a friend called and wanted to drop by and talk for 15 minutes . . . translation . . . it would take at least an hour. But since this fellow is one of our most promising up and coming leaders and we have worked together on a number of projects in the past, I said come on over. He did indeed show up a couple of hours later and his 15 minutes morphed into a couple of hours. By the time he got around to going, it was lunch time, e.g. 4:00 pm, and so he invited me out to have a pizza and a cold beverage and manly conversation at the "American Pizzaria". So off we went.

The most amazing thing about that lunch were the conversations happening on the local Rock Music radio station that was playing in the pizza shop. They were going on and on about how today was Good Friday (Orthodox) and all the many requirements necessary that a person needed to accomplish to prove that they were a good Orthodox Christian. Shesh! It was like reading out of the Cotton Patch Version of the bible!

It seems to me that when Jesus comes into a person's life, it much like this video below. Just watch it!



Isn't the energy displacement amazing! Jesus explodes our old life much like these bullets in the video did the various objects. A long list of do's and don'ts is far far from the abundant life and freedom He died to give.
