Living a Christian Life

What the heck does that mean? I hear things like "that's not very Christian" or "I am trying to be a good Christian" or "I don't do that because I am Christian." I am pretty sure that I have said at least one of those things before but what does that mean. I want to be free of the label of "good Christian." I want to be a "bad" Christian. Whatever that means. I guess that I just want to enjoy life and do the things that I like to do and hang out with the people that I like to hang out with and talk about the stuff that we like to talk about. Doesn't make us good or bad. I don't feel like I have fun any more. I am so busy trying to be a good example and I am forgetting who I am. I wasn't a bad person before I got saved, I just didn't know Jesus and who He is.

I miss myself.

I saw part of that person today at the children's museum. No Kelly, not the me that wanted to scream at the kid who was screaming at the top of his lungs in that very high ear-drum piercing way, actually I wanted to say something to his parents, along the lines of stop spoiling him rotten and he won't do that in public, but the me that sat down at the table with the glue, paper, feathers, and yes just a touch of glitter for you. I miss that person. Jessie told me that she could not remember me ever painting a picture with her. I love doing stuff like that. I just don't show anybody the finished work and Kelly saw why. My favorite artist is Picasso. Anyone can paint like him.

That phrase "what would Jesus do" just popped into my head and I think He would tell us all to just shut-up and listen and get down to the business of living. Sharing with our friends, having good times, teaching our children the right way to live and how to treat others seems more important to me than being a "good" Christian.

What is a good Christian?

If I do these things right then I am a good Christian and Heaven forbid if I slip and stay what I am really thinking once in a while sorry if I offend you but I am not perfect just forgiven.
