Well, it's a pretty crazy week getting ready for GROUND ZERO, our end-of-summer camp.
This morning, as I was getting in my car to head off to another 12 hour work day, I had a thought: When your computer runs slow, you either run fewer programs or you run a stripped-down version of your operating system.
What if, to simplify my life this week, I 'ran' a stripped-down version of Christianity. Instead of worrying about the pros and cons of Calvinism, the difference between worship leaders and lead-worshipers, and the latest denominational argument, I just tried to love God and love others. My stripped-down religion would be treating others like I want to be treating and treating God like God.
Would it work? Is it sacrilegious? What do you think?

Seems like it would work to me! Jesus summed up the whole law with: love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself. If it worked for Him there's a chance it might work for us too!
i like the metaphor, technological connections for a technological generation. i can see it now... "and Jesus told the computer to shut itself down for it froze and would process good software." get it, fig tree parable?
ok, maybe the scriptures shouldn't be messed with. bad idea.
