Putting Jesus on stuff everything like He Mayo

[1Cor2:9 193]

I hope at least one person got a laugh out of the title. This post mentions God. Please do not read if you do not want to read about God.

Someone today informed me that they wished I would stop mentioning God in all my post. This post is to explain why I often mention God in my post. Before I begin all humans that have grace this earth or will are in some way shape or form a hypocrite. Sadly it is part of the human condition. So I will admit that in some areas of my life that word would be fitting.

My BP name is 1 Cor. 2:9. First Corinthians 2:9 states

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,

Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him"

Through the gift of my surgery God is going to bring about something new and He is has already started that work. I am not going to lose weight because of surgery, exercise, or even diet but through the work He is going to do in my life. I have been heavy since a child. My fat is so old it expired! ha So when God does the necessary work to do away with all that weight it is certainly going to be a new thing. My mentioning the Lord in my post is not an attempt to be perfect or to sound perfect, but to be honest about who I am and and the work that is taking place in my life. I am very much thankful for this opportunity. I got my rough Patches and spot, but I am still very grateful. He did not have to make a way for me to have surgery, but He did. I so I am going to smear Him on many of my post.

God not only is a part of this journey, but He is the one has made it possible to start and will bring it to its conclusion.

Also, we must not forget:

Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"

Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"

God say, "No." Abe say, "What ?"

God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but

The next time you see me comin' you better run"

Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done ?"

God says. "Out on Highway 61".

As long as you aren't judging people or saying your religion is better than theirs, use God in your postings.

Some people may take offense and think you are being "holier than thou" or pushing your religion on them.

If you are very spiritual in your normal everyday life, why should your postings in this forum be any different?

Some people may prefer you not slathering it on and using it only sparingly.

[1Cor2:9 193]

Indeed. I think if people were to read all my post that can fairly say I am not judging people. In regards to the slathering/spariningly people are always free to read or not read, right?

I like your viewpoint of how God has provided this opportunity and that he has plans to use it for his glory. Amen!

I also have a deep Christian worldview and I definitely express that in all types of interactions. I am not ashamed of that. I'm also not trying to make anyone else believe or do anything. The choice to be a follower ofJesus or not is up to each individual.

I hope we get some more people on this forum because I know that it is only through Jesus that I will be able to make this journey, no matter the outcome. And I would personally like to be able to give and receive all the spiritual support possible.
