I'm done. I'm finished. I've had it.
My name is Duane Keaton and I am head over heels, totally and completely in love with Jesus Christ. However, over the last few years I have tried to acknowledge Him as my Sovereign Lord, Almighty God, and Heavenly Father... but, with apologies, I just can't do that anymore. It just isn't what my life in Him is like. Every time I would ever call him by some glorious, worshipful name it was like driving a wedge between us... accenting the idea that I am here on earth and he is millions of miles away, up in some heavenly cloud where there are golden harps and angles with wings and everything smells cottony clean. Well, I'm sick of it. Jesus is right here, sitting next to me with a big, fat smile on his face. So, with respect to all my theologically minded friends, I just can't live like that anymore. I'm suffacating! So, I will go on and read Max Lucado, listen to happy Jesus loves me songs and dance until I am exhusted. We'll play, laugh, tickle, sing badly, shout joyfully, read poetry, talk, listen, and everything else great friends do. Yes, He is the Lord of all creation, King of kings, and Almighty in every way... but more than all that, to me He has been and always will be the single, the one and only, best friend I could ever have. So, I'm done with trying to be theological and trying to be "grown up" about my faith. I am me, and He is Jesus... and that's all I care about. My name is Duane Keaton and I am head over heels, totally and completely in love with Jesus Christ.
