My comment was not so much a reply to girlygirl as a chance to preach on the topic, “Helping and Being Helped.” It always amazes me how Politically Correct we have become in taking advice or giving it. If we are so sensitive at being criticized or told we need help, we really need help badly. And I DO agree with girlygirl the HBB does need help…….in a lot of different ways.

Hi Chris, and others,

I talked with girlygirl in private about the comment rather than do it publicly. She really didn’t mean it the way her comment came across. And I learned the lesson, once again, to assume the best even when it seems obvious that it isn’t the best, because it just might be.

Dear, girlygirl
If you listen to your dad, or take his advice seriously, you CAN NOT be a NORMAL beachy. However, girlygirl is not a well known name among beachys so I ASSUME you must not be beachy. If I am wrong in this assumption please except my apologies. I agree that the HBB needs help. I do wonder though, is anyone interested in helping him? Or does pointing out a need for help count the same as helping? It is my experience that most people, beachy or otherwise, avoid helping or being helped nowadays. We need no help and offer none. Oh, we point out others need for help, but where is the offer to help? And where is the willingness to be helped? As Jesus said to the man at the pool, “Wilt thou be made whole?” (John 5:6) I ask this question of you girlygirl, of your father, of the self proclaimed HBB, of all beachys, and of anyone else who reads this. For Jesus also said, “They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” (Mark 2:17) We ALL need help……..in a lot of different ways. Jesus is the only Physician, although he does use his, helpers on earth, to do His will. Are you helping?

1. Didn’t ya know to be “spiritual” we gotta be sophisticated (ie: read at least one book by Rick Warren) and keep up with the current pop Christianity terminology? Calling church church would be like calling “pre-owned” cars “used” instead, so last century… The real question is this: Does changing the name change the reality?

2. I don’t go to church to listen to some Micheal W. Smith (or whoever else is hot in the CCM world) wannabee croon breathily into the mic… maybe I’m jealous? It just seems like the old hymns are based in experience, while on the other hand P&W music is centered more on emotion and focused on musicians. Question is: Does more “feeling” equal better worship?

3. We should drop all standards and make no attempt to live righteously, that way no one could ever accuse us of being hypocrites… right? I love that logic!

As far as cargo pants. I might need to repent in sack cloth, because not only do I wear them, but I have worn them to church! Fortunately for all ya cargo haters, my fashion sources tell me that Cargos are out of style. Translation: They will be popular for Beachys in another year or two… no doubt many (the weak) will fold to the pressure…
