Isnt it strange
how a £20
seems like such a large amount when you donate it to church
but such a small amount when you go shopping?

Isnt it strange
how 3 hours
seem so long when youre at church
and how short they seem when youre at a party?

Isnt it strange
that you cant find a word to say
when youre praying
but you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?

Isnt it strange
how difficult and boring it is to read
one chapter of the Bible
but how easy it is to read a 2 page letter from your friend, or BF/GF

Isnt it strange
how everyone wants front-row-tickets
to concerts or games
but they do whatever is possible to sit in the last row in Church?

Isnt it strange
how we need to know about an event
for Church 2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda
but we can adjust it for other events in the last minute?

Isnt it strange
how difficult it is to learn a fact
about God to share it with others
but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?

Isnt it strange
how we believe everything
that magazines and newspapers say
but we question the words in the Bible?

Isnt it strange
how everyone wants a place in heaven
but they dont want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?

Isnt it strange
how we send jokes in e-mails
and they are forwarded right away
but when it comes to sending messages about God
we think about it twice before we share it with others?

When God takes something from your grasps
hes not punishing you
but merely opening your hands to receive something better
