Not As Qualified As I'd Like to Be
There are some jobs you really need a resume for. CEO at a Fortune 500 Company. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Head football coach at the University of Alabama (but apparently not the Oakland Raiders). Probably even Pope (500 year-old quotes or not).
Last week Rosie O'Donnell, opined on her TV gabfest The View that "Radical Christianity is just as dangerous as Radical Islam." Now, apart from things like hijacking jetliners and ramming them into office buildings; exploding car bombs in crowded markets; forcing women into seclusion (or burkhas); ; preaching violent overthrow of the government; counting "suicide bomber of children on school buses" as an honorable occupation; beheading journalists, Muslim aid workers, and politicians; and generally murdering those we disagree with; and the fact that I don't think I know ANY Christians who are opposed to allowing people to freely practice a variety of religions, but there are myriads who believe in Jesus and His command to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, I can see where she's coming from.
Rosie, I don't know exactly what it took for you to get your job, but thanks for your thoughtful, insightful, and intellectual contribution to the world of whatever you were talking about. Here, have another donut.
But what does that have to do with resumes? Well, I have to admit, like the author of the following article, that I'm not really qualified to be called a "Radical" Christian. I'm just a piker on the "Radical" scale, a 98-pound weakling trying to swing a mallet and win the cigar. Check out the great piece of writing (which truly is thoughtful, insightful, and intellectual) at this link http://www.crosswalk.com/faith/pastors/1424980.html and you'll understand more of what I'm talking about.
Monday morning blessings to all - including Rosie.
