I'm Praying for You
My friend Joanne sent me a link to this song thinking that it could go on the Jesus-or-Squirrel blog, but it had such an important message (okay, actually it is just funny!), I thought I'd post it here.
I shouldn't be shocked that this is considered Christian, but I am shocked and disappointed. that we have sunk so low. If you think this is bad, guess how people pray for pastors and leaders.
I'm pretty sure this is firmly tongue-in-cheek, Anonymous. It's another funny, country, break-up song. There is no magnetic fish attached to the video at all.
Plus, it's causal day, here on the Captain's Blog. Sit down, put your feet up, smile, and remember rule #4 - Don't take yourself too seriously!
Casual day? But I spent 15 minutes preparing an eloquent comment...
I've been the subject of a prayer like that at least once. And I have been hurt to where I wished for a person to die. My own anger drives others away from God, but God's vengence is purposeful in driving that person (as well as myself) to Him. Behind my anger I find hurt, and behind hurt is love - often a selfish love. When I convey my anger in prayer, my own selfishness is dumped and then replaced with the Comforter's presence.
I'm a fan of honest prayers - even when it sounds like a bad country song.

so you say this has an important message... it would be ??
ReplyDeleteJust a funny hook, Anon. When I watched it the first time it caught me off guard and got me to laugh.
ReplyDeleteThat's hysterical. Wrong, but hysterical.
