Last night I spoke downtown at the “Pearl.” We are in a series called, “World Changers” and it is based on the Beatitudes taught by Jesus in Matthew 5. I focused last night on being a PeaceMAKER. I did a top ten list and many of those attending asked for a copy, so here it is:

YOU KNOW YOU AREN’T A PEACEMAKER IF…
10. …You friends call you “Road Rage Rhonda” and you don’t seem to understand why.

9. …You find yourself having heated arguments with ‘that’ person when no one is around.

8. …Are walking the long way around the sanctuary to avoid ‘that person’, but you tell your friends you just staying committed to you new Richard Simmons Exercise program.

7. …You converted the picture of your boss to a Dart board and throwing darts daily as your personal devotions.

6. …You catch yourself beating up the pillows on your couch while watching, “The Office.”

5. …Your blood pressure is 200/160… on a good day.

4. …Send baking powder to one of your teachers in the mail and write the word “anthrax” on the envelope.

3. …Anonymously sign up your irritating co-worker for monthly shipment of expensive cigars from the “Havanna Cigar Club”

2. …You send a text to your best friend telling them how excited you are that the creep who lives next door got pulled over by the police.

1. …You subconsciously draw horns and a tail on the pastor’s picture in the bulletin during his message because he didn’t say hi to you six years ago.
