I’ve been noticing my attitude towards Western-brand Christianity (and the Church at large which seems to subscribe to it willingly and blindly) becoming more and more jaded with the passage of time and the depth of my cynicism increasing in intensity. It’s to the point that it it’s becoming slightly uncomfortable to sit through a church service save for Greg Boyd’s mentally and spiritually challenging/stimulating messages that focus on Kingdom principles. But that’s not all.

On my way home this evening I saw a van, which had printed all over it: Messiah Realty

Gee, I didn’t know that Jesus was now a licensed realtor. I must have missed that old testament prophecy.

As a footnote, Messiah Realty is a registered business. No website tho.

Well, when I was googling for the URL for the “Metropolitan Artists Market”, the first result was for WCCO’s photo gallery of the opening day, which I performed for. Looks like my mugshot made it onto their website. That was one warm morning. Tomorrow’s gonna be just as warm, if not warmer.

This will be the first time in a loooooooong time that I’ve done any playing on a Sunday morning—and it’s finally not church-related.

I don’t know what it is, but I’ve really been having issues with the whole church thing and christian culture. I’m just so annoyed with it right now that I want nothing to do with it—that sometimes puts me in scary territory of laying aside my “christian spiritual life”. It’s not that I don’t believe in God and all that Jesus has done for me—I’m just tired of church and tired of Western-Brand Christianity.

That leaves me in a bit of a lonely spot.

Anyway, I need to get to bed. 8:00 is gonna come awefully early.
