Note from a Critic
Kevin,
I’m not just saying this to you to be cruel, but you are becoming an increasingly (pun intended) poor example to your “flock.” I’ll get right to the point: That gut that arrives a moment or two before the rest of you shows up. How can you expect people to take you seriously when you talk about life-change? All fat people aren’t bad. But you should know better. You have the audacity to haul your blubber up on a stage and talk to people about discipline, and about choices that please God. What a joke. What a big FAT joke.
It isn’t that you “gain weight easily.” Most people do that after a certain age. And my bet is that it isn’t just a lapse in discipline. It is you rebelliously insisting on living life YOUR way. Preacher, that’s the very thing you constantly preach against. So how are you so different from the smokers? Or those who drink too much? Or watch porn? Aren’t they doing the same thing you are doing?
If you don’t change something, I suggest you practice a Scottish accent and ask Austin Powers if you can be “Fat Pastor” in his next movie! HAHAHAHAHA. Look dude – no amount of cool clothes, or facial hair, or efforts to pretend you aren’t over-the-hill are going to cover up your obesity. There’s a reason you’re out of breath at the top of a long flight of stairs. And it isn’t just your heart meds. Oh yeah, the heart thing. You’d think that would wake your lard brain up.
Apparently, all you care about is the next chance for immediate gratification on the end of a fork. It’s just getting old listening to a Hindenburg Blimp Hypocrite tell everybody else how to live. And then seeing unavoidable evidence that you aren’t even listening to yourself. Anyway, enjoy your lunch. And your snack. And your other snack.
Sincerely,
That Guy Looking Back at You from the Mirror
Well now,
This person isn’t saying this to be cruel ??…Could have fooled me!
Jesus would have most likely turned off this person also; being Jesus was on the road and didn’t have a formal bathhouse or a comb not to mention a toothbrush.
Kevin, it never has mattered to me how anyone looks, all that matters is your heart is with Jesus.
And… Kevin; your heart is with Jesus.
We at the Rock want anyone and everyone no matter what so that they may have Jesus in their lives.
“We will do anything but sin to reach them”.
I wonder why this person is hiding and not stating their name here…afraid of rebuttal?? or worse yet??
To you the unnamed person: Kevin is not my example, Jesus is !!
Jim
Ok, well you got me there Kevin.
In my haste and concern, I didn’t get the point of your salutation.
“That Guy Looking Back at You from the Mirror”
Your still not my example though…chuckles.
Jim
Well, I don’t know if this was a joke, or if you were really mulling this over with yourself, either mentally or actually talking to the guy in the mirror (and that one I might worry me).
But rather than say “Don’t be hard on yourself,” sometimes it’s good to be. What I’m taking of this, there’s that hypocritical aspect, of saying, or preaching, one thing, and doing a completely different thing. “Do what I say, not what I do.” There’s was an episode of House that dealt with fat, a woman was filming a workout show, like “Biggest Loser” and fainted. Turned out she has gastric bypass (not the reason for her fainting), and rather than make that public knowledge, she put out training videos and said anybody could look like her if they followed her method. True, get surgery, be thin like her, but she left that part out. And one of the doctors (not House) called her a hypocrite. BTW, the reason for the fainting was that she wasn’t eating any fat.
Now, I think we can all fall into that though. But it’s the person who doesn’t think, or admit, that they are a sinner.
I mean, I’ve known women who hated Playboy and like-stuff, and yet they read “romance novels” every night. No pictures except for a shirtless Fabio, but the words paint a nice mental image. And not just women. I’ve known guys, politicians mostly, who were negative against strip clubs, yet were caught visiting such establishments. Senator Craig comes to mind, very anti-gay, and yet we now know to never tap our feet in the restroom. Or like a person who claims to follow the Bible, yet adds “unless it is to make up for what was stolen from you” after “Thou shall not steal.”
I’m not perfect either. But I know that.
Gotta wonder what color underwear the dude was wearing as he sat in his boxers, in his mom’s basement writing this letter, jobless, womanless, playing Xbox and sending nasty letters. Love that.
