sorting through old emails

just a general observation that I think should go whithout saying.... I've found about 4 emails that were forwarded to me that said "If I really love Jesus I would forward it on to ten friends." I hate these kinds of demands because it reminds me of my Christian heritage. Baptists must be at the bottom of this manipulative statement.

We often have said,

If you really love Jesus you'll come on Sunday night.
If you really love Jesus you'll do this thing for me.
If you really love Jesus you'll double your building programs giving.
If you really love Jesus you'll stop needing this or that....

Now here's my version, If you really love Jesus you'll stop asking me to forward stuff to ten of my closest friends.

(This is the cranky Matt. He shows up once or twice a month.)
