Well @tomfreenam I made it over here, thanks for the invitation. This is a very nice message you have put together here and after reading it, I feel like one of the giraffes in the picture, above the crowd.
I learned a long time ago that when you speak the truth, it can make for a sometimes lonely existence, but you will always be at peace with yourself.
People are so much like farm animals in that we subscribe to the herd mentality, safety in numbers and others to hide behind if need be. I cut myself free from the herd quite a while ago and now I just graze the pastures that I want to graze, not the one the rancher wants me in or the one the herd decides to settle on.
It looks like you have a pretty good handle on the religion aspect of life, no need for me to jump in to that arena or rodeo at this point. I'll just direct any folks looking for an uplifting over here to you. I might even make it a point myself to keep coming back for a spiritual tune up every now and then as well.
The Church of Sult N Papper has moved, it can now be found @tomfreeman , Deacon Bigtom might be a little disappointed when he hears this, you got room for him over here too?
Deacon Bigtom is most welcomed to be my friend. The room is very large and given i also have "tom" in my name, we'll be fine.
@sultnpapper...your sweet words lights my face this morning and warms my heart. It feels great to be that tall gorilla, its the way of the charistmatic. No matter how lonely it makes you feel, you can be assured of your own unique followers. Many will love you later for who you are and count on your words and actions.
Hahahah...thanks for all your compliments, but i do not intend to stop your "ministry" sir. I did appreciate the way you came out to talk sarcastically about the ills and undoings of our pastors, but like Jesus, tried to advice you to "do what they say, not what they do"... For the money.
Sorry for any disappointment my words may have caused... Like you, i only tried to stand tall like that gorrila.
I'm @tomfreeman!
I may commit a post every now and then on religion but those will be few and far between, I doubt that I'll be needing the hash tag "steemchurch" much, in fact I didn't even know it existed until I came over here to read your post.
There are plenty of subjects that I tackle on a fairly regular basis that are nowhere near fully covered as yet. So the televangelist preachers can put their fears to rest that I was going to cut in on their dance.
It's so nice meeting you sir. I'll be so glad to read more of your meaningful contents.
Please continue to live for the truth in everything you do.
God bless!
I'm @tomfreeman!
Hey @tomfreeman, I meant to mention to you that I think you would be a good member of @thesteemengine , it is a writers group that is big on supporting each other through meaningful engagement on each others works. Come give a look and see if you have the slightest interest.
