Papa dont't preach

OK,yes, I am a devote Christian, but don't think I am going to push my beliefs on you. There are some out there who believe the way to make people believe in something is shove it down their throats. Not me!! I believe that if you lead my example the others will follow.

Right now I am working with a fellow Christian. He does not have the same belief as me on this view. He thinks he needs to tell everyone how to live their own lives. Now in the construction world you run into A LOT of guys who don't live the best of lives. They drink daily, do drugs, and so on. Yes they should live a better life especially the ones who have children at home. But they are grown men and who am I to TELL them how to live. My co-worker though feels the need to be in everyones business. We will call him Tim. Tim wants to tell these guys to clean up their act. Tim keeps telling them to go to church. Tim keeps tell them if they going to keep living their lives this way they will not be saved.

Tim shut up!! Stop preaching!! Stop throwing your religion in others face!!

Yes I believe what he is saying, but grown men don't like to be told what to do. And when you push something you usually get a greater resistance. That is why I like to just lead them to my beliefs by showing a good example for them. I am not saying I am perfect in any way and that I live the perfect Christian life by any means. I am still working on being a better Christian. Everyone that knows me knows that I still have some things to work on. Especially swearing!! For some reason when I doing this though I stop myself. That is because I think before I type. I have a really hard time thinking before I speak!

I also have been raised that as long as you believe in something that leads you to live a good moral life, that you are doing it right! I would like to see more people in my life in some form of organized religion. If you are true believer in whatever your religion then why not take time out to show it. But am I going to tell you have to go NO! I don't care if you sit at home and watch on TV for all I care just take some time out and set it aside for you to show yyour devotion to your beliefs.

SOMETIMES THERE IS NOTHING LEFT

BUT TO BELIEVE!!!
