Blog 13- Quit blogging & go “Do”
If a blog is a vent machine, here goes… I wish people would quit blogging about how messed up the Muslim world is, & go teach. That being said, I have no intention of going & teaching the Muslims anything. I know this sounds hypocritical, but then, I’m not addressing bloggers as a whole, but the elitists. It is strange, many do get their disclaimers in, to show the [common sense] viewpoint that the common people of the Muslim world are not to blame for the state in which they find themselves. Yet, even ½ of those bloggers turn around & accuse them of that exact very thing.
I find it very encouraging that there is a noticeable absence of any such blogging on the D.F. website. What’s so encouraging? Well, that it appears that aside from having such fruits of the spirit like kindness, forbearance, etc… most, if not all the saints here, would evidently quit talking & start walking the talk. They would go teach. Well, once they were done w/ the “Who am ‘I’ to teach?” bit (it’s bound to be part of the process). The depressing or angering part is said members of this Body, would have to spend most of their time admitting to whomever they taught that:
“No, I’m not typical of the average American. I’m actually a part of a contrast society. I’m not even sure if I’m typical of the average contrast society, due to the fact that modesty keeps us from advertising to one another.”
Now, I realize that given enough time, people with similar/near similar ideas can find each other .Contrast societies or otherwise. They may even transcend the us vs. them mentality one could accuse me of here. However, most square Johns like us, w/ our JOB & all, don’t think we have time for such things. So, those in acceptance of such an education (like 3rd world countries or… like me) are going to continue being inundated w/ folks that have good intentions, but no unity.
We are able to hope, however, that God provides the unity & that the receivers of this attention, see that humans from all walks of life can be guided by God to them (knowing nothing of each other), but preaching the same universal truths w/ sweet, but not artificial sweeteners & no add ons or fillers. Yet, what about the lands from which these “missionaries” have originated?
By the way… I have the flu. Sorry if this sounds ½ baked. This has definitely been a “writing to understand” blog.
