I always and will always say it. Christianity is so not a religion. Stop treating it like one. |

Directly in front of my house is a Catholic church.
Twice daily they congregate. And twice daily they
interrupt my peace and my freedom of
movement. They normally block roads until they
are done with service before I can drive out.
I have contemplated so many actions including
blocking them before they block me. It's not
been easy to control myself but I have managed
to.
Two weeks ago, there was water shortage in the
estate. As I got out with jerrican to send for
water, the church guard yelled out something
while walking towards me. But because use I
was so filled with angry towards everything about
them, I just kept going. The guard ran very fast
to catch up to me. Until I heard a panting voice
said "Aunty we have water" as he pointed
towards the Church.
So, I reluctantly went with him to get two
jerricans of water.
little did I know that simple unsolicited favor will
change my attitude towards them.
Because I had a change of attitude, I was able
to see them in a possitive light, their noise
became music, their rowdy crowd became
gathered friends and family, the threat became
protection, what seemed permanent
inconveniences became temporary and the
church became sacred.
Today is Christmas, I went there to help feed the
orphans. After the exercise we got talking, then
they soon realised the discomfort they had
caused me. They apologised and created way to
permanently free my driveway and they told me
they are about moving to their permanent site.
And guest what? I will miss them.
The fact is, sentiments cloud sound judgement
and is unproductive. But to have the ability to
catch yourself doing it and hence retreat, is
simply gracious.
I hope you learn something from my story.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all
humble folks of mighty BCO/BSO. May the holy
season brings us glad tidings and May all our
wishes come true in 2016 (Amen)
