mormons

I am really sleepy, but i will attempt to describe what i want to say today. This lack of sleep is not helping me anymore...so i had to change my sleeping routine and decided to go for self-discipline. So today i had only about three hours of sleep and i am trying to go to sleep the latest...12pm. Anyway, the purpose of this blog is not to talk about my boring lack of self-discipline, but rather, to talk about a thought i had today in my life.

I was getting out of my apartments (on my way to buy a pizza for my girls), and i saw a car full of white males with a white dressing shirt and a tie. Yea, you guessed it, they were Mormons. I looked at them and in an instant i began to recall all the times a Mormon will pass by me and say 'hi'; very politely. So then i started asking myself, why is it so hard for Christians to be nice and say a simple hello? I mean, are we intimidated?

It will always happen in a setting like checking my mail. I would be there opening up that little grey box and one of them walked by (maybe with their bicycle) and would so kindly express their kindness. I think i even sometimes remember not wanting to respond to them, and maybe felt some sort of negative feelings, and wanted to walk away. So today i meditated while I was on my way to buy the pizza. I think it is so sad that christians are labeled as hypocrites when we are suppose to be the "light of this world". And I told myself...Mormons are showing love, and people respond to that. They greet you no matter what your response is, and if they see you again, they still say hi. They keep on smiling while you're thinking in your head...oh man when are they going to stop being nice?! lol....I really haven't thought that...but today I learned that we as Christians need to get our act together. It is only with love that a person allows you into their heart, and it is only through love that Christ inhabits in all relationships.
