I finished reading Vince Antonucci’s book I Became a Christian and all I got was this Lousy T-shirt with my wife tonight. We read through it out loud together. We laughed. We cried. We talked. It was great.
Vince’s book is unique in that he includes Greek word studies about as often as he uses the word “crap.”
Though Vince is already writing his next book (called Guerilla Lovers), I think the third book he should write should be called “Holy Crap.” It would be about how our lives are a mixture of holiness and crapiness, and sometimes, it’s hard to determine which is which. But if we focus on living for Jesus and loving Him, Jesus can take even the crap of our lives, and use it for good. Maybe as fertilizer to help others grow, or for use in the annual Alaskan Moose Poop Festival (I have just put this on my Bucket List. …Do you think they really drink out of those Moose Poop Mugs?).
I don’t know what Jesus can do with the crap in your life, but if your life is like mine, He’s got a lot to work with.
Thanks Jeremy – I’m glad you enjoyed the book! And I love your idea for a book!! I actually havea possible book I’m thinking about called, “Eat Thunder, Crap Lighning” but your idea might be better. – Vince
I really enjoyed that last sentence. 😀
I would love to meet these people who have so little crap to deal with that they have to go out an actually buy more!
Vince,
My wife can’t stop talking about your book! That last chapter really was helpful. Thanks. I look forward to all your future books!
Bullet,
I actually bought a souvenier once which was a “Buffalo Chirp” (Buffalo Chip). They took Buffalo poop and made little birds out of it. I sent it to my in-laws, but they threw it out. I guess Wendy’s dad didn’t want poop sitting on his desk.
Hey Bullet,
You are making quite a name for yourself on my blog. Ha ha. I just checked my website stats, and noticed that “bullet” was the fourth most popular search string on my site. Nice.
Jeremy,
The title is too funny! I’m actually enjoying all the crap in my life…why? The Lord is my Shepherd. Even though it hurts and I’m tired of it (Literally) there is a “joy” like James talked about; preparing us for a wild and fun eternity with Him forever! I guess you could call it an eternal perspective.
Jim
“You are making quite a name for yourself on my blog.”
Whatever will the neighbors think? 🙂
That may have just been me looking for myself. I do that occasionally to pick up thoughts from comments I’ve made to try and elaborate over at my place.
