Everyone Poops

This are some profound books that I have read- and amoungst the ones I have listed on this blog, I should add "Everyone Poops."

Such a small and pedestrian act really has profound implications. The president has to wipe his own ass. Church elders, movie actors and actresses- all of them poop! Even the Pope poops. So did Jesus. Jesus pooped.

Somthing so smelly, so gassly, and obnoxious came from the man we call Christ. He was afterall human- right?

Everyone poops and everyone acts like we don't. We keep it hidden unless we are under some sort of medical emergency or a poop exhibitionist who doesn't like to flush in public restrooms. I am going off on a little tangent.

Think about it. Every single person has a messy life that we like to conceal and flush down the proverbial toilet.
Isn't this is alot like what sin is? We eat something or indulge in a particular sin. We consume it. It is inside of us. We think we are the sin. We have identified with the sin. Oh God I am a piece of oreo cheesecake. We think we are the decadent dessert. we feel special but only for a time. It provides a momentary sense of worth and fullness. We have at least stopped the hunger pains. It passes through us. We smell the vile stench. We think we are the crap sitting beneath our bottom. We think we are the crap. We say to ourselves "I am worth less- please save me." All the while Jesus is saying- You are more than a piece of cheesecake and you are certainly more than a pile of crap."
He tells us to flush. Our slate or ass is wiped clean. But we chain ourselves to a false throne. We say it cannot be that easy. We believe we are the bile. He says arise and go sin no more. We say- can't impossible. He says we can. We think he is full of it. We fail to see isn't.
