Dear Mr. President:

I’m planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me. We’re planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and we’ll need your help to make a few arrangements.

We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I’m sure you handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I’m on my way over?
Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. Please print all Mexican government forms in English.
4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bilingual) teachers. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.
5. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flagpoles at their school.
6. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
7. I will need a local Mexican driver’s license so I can get easy access to government services.
8. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico, but, I don’t plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won’t make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
9. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.
10. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my housetop, put U.S. flag decals on my car and have a gigantic celebration on July Fourth. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
11. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
12. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
13. I want to receive free food stamps.
14. Naturally, I’ll expect free rent subsidies.
15. I’ll need income tax credits, so although I don’t pay Mexican taxes, I’ll receive money from the government.
16. Please arrange it so that the Mexican government pays $4,500 to help me buy a new car.
17. Oh, yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me into the Mexican Social Security program so that I’ll get a monthly income in retirement.

I know this is an easy request because you already do these things for all his people who walk over to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that President Calderon won’t mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

Thank you so much for your kind help. You the man!!

What Is A Spiritual Bully?

The answer to that question ostensibly depends upon which side of the Pastor’s desk you find yourself. One Tuesday evening I found myself on the (apparently) wrong side of that desk. You see, I was accused of being just such a bully. Here’s my list of crimes:

I refuse to be controlled.
I find it disgusting that a member of any congregation can leave his/her brain on the coat rack in the vestibule during the church service and then pick it up on the way out.
I am not afraid to ask the Pastor difficult questions – especially when they are spiritual in nature – and I won’t be coerced into simply accepting a falsehood.
I believe that it’s unnecessary to consult the Pastor on every decision I make.
I do not believe that the Pastor and his family are royalty. Anointed? Yes. A leader? Yes. A king? No. A shepherd? No. (There is only One Shepherd – thank you for that clarification Pastor Miller!)

There are other infractions that we might delve into later – but for now, this is my rap sheet. Now I’m positive my former Pastor believes differently. Here is my interpretation of the above-mentioned crimes through my former Pastor’s eyes:

He refuses to submit.
He’s a thinker and that’s OK in moderation – as long as it doesn’t interfere with that submission thing I mentioned before, especially during the service.
He asks for chapter and verse on things that really don’t matter. When I tell him that it’s not in the Bible “per se” he continues to try to usurp my authority when I tell him that he just needs to accept “the spirit behind” what I was saying.
He didn’t come and ask me for help when it’s obvious (to me) that he needs it.
He didn’t kiss my wife’s butt.

Before this digresses into something that I’ll regret later – I think that’s all I’m going to say about the matter. I’ll try not to dwell here. You see…even though my former Pastor and I parted ways on unpleasant terms (and it still remains that way), I have an incredible amount of respect for him. He led me to Christ and Christ did what He does best…He changed my life. Enough said.

I haven’t yet decided exactly what I’m going to do with this blog. Regardless of where it goes, I hope you’ll join me so we can find out together. RJC

Don’t Tell Me What’s Appropriate

There are inappropriate reactions in life…this is certain. Laughing in your (soon-to-be former) best friend’s face while he grieves at his wife’s funeral is inappropriate. Shouting “FIRE!” in a crowded theater when there is no fire is not only inappropriate but illegal – and for good reason.

When one of my kids gets hurt, my reaction is one of anger. After I make sure they’re OK, nothing broken…no gushing blood, I am angry. Why shouldn’t I be? This is a person that I love dearly and someone or something is hurting them. The person hurting them might even be someone else that I love. That’s almost worse than if it was a complete stranger. After all, relatives and loved ones are supposed to love, not hurt, one another.

I recently reacted angrily and callously to a suicide attempt. I was told that my response was inappropriate and that I should show some compassion. I disagree. Attempted suicide is weak. (Yes…I know that the “experts” don’t agree…two words: DON’T CARE) If you’re going to do it – do it! None of this mamsy-pamsy, cry-for-help nonsense. Plain and simple…if you need help, get it. If you’re in a bad situation – leave it. Otherwise, don’t bother with the drama.

A person who finds themselves in an impossible situation deserves help. However, a person who insists on wallowing in the slop of an impossible situation…refusing said help…refusing to listen to the voice of reason/experience/authority…deserves to get that slop all over them.

Here’s what God says about it:

Proverbs 26:11 (KJV) – As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

My reaction is not inappropriate. Leave the vomit. RJC

In The End…

In the end, nothing much matters except relationship.

How does one experience a deep, personal relationship with someone without knowing that person’s name? True – it’s possible to have an interaction with a nameless person – the policeman, the lady at the bookstore, the person who makes your coffee at Starbucks. Interaction, however, is vastly different than relationship. My wife is Anita – she’s not “the person I see every night at supper.”

Acts 4:12 (KJV)Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

There you have it. His name. The name. Jesus. The key to having a relationship with God is knowing His name. Anything short of that knowledge merely qualifies as interaction.

That’s it. It’s not about fitting in. It’s not about the hair or the dress or anything else. All of these “extras” are simply a distraction from what really matters. His name is what matters. All things are subject to His name. All things in heaven, on earth and below the earth.

Dear God ~
Help me to remember that it’s all about You. Help me to rekindle our relationship. Your name is not God, Allah, Vishnu, Father, Jehovah, Barack or any other name except one. Your name is Jesus and it is in Your name that I pray. RJC
