MySpace Confessional

Forgive me MySpace for I have sinned.

I've never been to confession, especially not to you, but admittedly I need to come clean.

I have committed slander against you and all that embrace you as home. At times I've been condescending, if not down right judgemental. It's not that I have anything against sexy women or stupid men tricks, but it just felt better for me to declare I am somehow above the likes of those who gather here and call friends friends.

It's here that millions come, baggage, bravado and all, and yet find belonging. Baring all, at times literally, many find solace with kindred spirits. As strange as it is to hear my fingers utter this, there is community being built here, probably much like what happened when a 1st century carpenter showed up at a party on the wrong side of temple.

It occurred to me that my Hero, would be found here in MySpace. He would be saving the world, including cheerleaders, utubers, and bloggers, baring His soul with a recklessness that you would understand. His comments would likely sound like random sound bytes from indie short films, but I suspect I would find many of you calling Him Friend, maybe even list Him in your top 8.

I wonder where I would list Him.

So please accept my apology. I am truly sorry.

If only my church could be more like MySpace...but that is another blog. Thanks for hearing me out and your gracious consideration of my confession.

encounter: What are places in your life today that you would like see Jesus Christ? How would you feel about Him "hanging out" in those places and spaces?
