...they found Tennyson's body.
Whenever the weather changes this time of the year, my thoughts navigate towards memories of what happened almost 3 years ago. Most of my close friends know what I'm talking about and know this is a subject that is very hard to talk about.
Tonight I came across a YouTube video that has further confirmed thoughts that have been brewing in my head the past 3 years. I hesitate in even talking about this here on my family blog (but here I go)
Christians are not perfect and deal with things that are very painful. To believe otherwise is crazy. Yet there are Christians I've know over the years that put up a "good front" and try to convey an image of "perfection" (I was guilty of this). And they promote this mindset to others as if it's the Gospel or a lifestyle. I would even dare say this type of Christianity is a self-absorbed American attitude, opposite of what Christ stood for.

Jesus suffered.

This is wrong
The YouTube video I mentioned above was preached on October 10, 2007. Six days later Tennyson passed away, I wish he watched this.
If it is a scenery, I appreciate! If communication is a kind of friendship, I desire! If the friend is a kind of heart, I treasure! Once I met, destined to chance! A visit to life, friendship! A blessing, with all sincerity!
