to all the Pharisees out there:

i'm sorry that your "christianity" is boring.

i'm sorry that you have no adventure in following Jesus,
but rather have a ball and chain around your ankle most call religion.
i feel bad for you, that you think God's presence is a casual kind of thing
and you refuse to allow yourselves to fully understand His grace

the kind of grace that frees us from a rigid law.
makes the relationship with you and Him less of Master and slave
and more like lover to Lover.

and i'm mostly sorry that i'm such an inconvenience to you.
i know, it's hard to bear the thought of me being in your church service.
i'm a rebel, i ask questions too much, i provoke thought.
i put my feet on the pew in front of me.
i write poetry during the sermons sometimes.

i'm not a "pretty" worshipper, as some call it.
i don't like to sit through a service without being challenged.
i sing along with the singer during the offering specials.
i even put sermon notes in my cell phone sometimes when i don't have paper.

i'm sorry that you think this is a crime.
your churchgoing experience must be so boring.
i love the adventures that i have with Christ,
and i'm truly sorry that you don't realize:

serving God was meant to be an adventure.
