You don’t hear much about the teen years.

I’m a fairly new believer. I’ve always just been kind of turned off by Christians and Christianity in general. I think it had something to do with growing up in the South and having pretty much one view of the church. Southern Baptists.

I’ve never been one for bible thumping, tie loosening or forehead wiping, and thats pretty much all you see in the South. Not a very good representation.

I’ve always thought that these “super Christians” have some entitlement issues. Just because you call yourself a Christian, doesn’t mean you are entitled to the reward. I may be wrong on this, so don’t quote me. The name means jack, the actions and the heart are all that really matters.

Which brings me to this, I always felt like the gift of salvation was out of reach because I was always told that if I wasn’t adhering to this strict guideline of living that it truly was. It wasn’t until recently that my wife and I found a church that seems to understand that this is a growing process. It always has been. If you are perfect, then there is no need for Jesus. Is there?

Now for the clip. This comes form a movie called Choke. I always feel refreshed when I see my thoughts on screen. I’ve literally been questioning this for years and I don’t think it could have been answered better than in this clip. A little back story, the girl in this clip is named Cherry Daquiri, she’s a stripper and she isn’t a bright one. Early on in the movie she dyes her hair brown because she’s told that blondes are more prone to cancer, and the answer she gives about Jesus is that much better just knowing that.
