BIG BUTCH BARKS BACK


Created for some of the more raw and painful aspects of growing up different. Sometimes angry, sometimes funny, always honest. Sometimes, the language is very harsh because pain is not gentle.

I am determined to chronicle all aspects of living with absolute candor and genuineness. It allows a connection with others at a deep soul level because they see that you understand their struggles when you reveal your own. If you are offended by cursing or expect the beauty you see on my other blog, Whisper Creek, then you may want to avoid this one. This is the very human side of me, the one God plainly sees. It is the part that God is healing. Let that be my witness.

BIG BUTCH Dreams That God Writes More Commandments


Dear Children,

Apparently 10 Commandments didn't clarify things well enough for you, so I have added ten more.

11. Let God be God. I'm pretty good at it. You are not.

12. I and Judge Judy are pretty good judges. You...not so much, so stop acting like one.

13. Show respect for ALL my creation. I wasn't necessarily looking at your species when I said "it is good".

14. It really is okay to think outside the box. Your head won't explode.

15. Allow me to be big enough for everyone. Contrary to popular opinion, I don't just visit Baptists on Sunday.

16. Don't assume you know everything about me. You know what they say about those who ass-u-me.

17. Hypocrites and holier-than-thou people have always ticked me off. Don't be one.

18. Remember that I made trees to bend in the wind so they will continue to stand strong in the stillness. Just like trees, rigid beliefs will break.

19. The next time you treat someone else in a way that you wouldn't want to be treated, smack yourself.

20. The next time you decide to get on your soapbox or high horse, remember that if you trip on your own tongue, its a long way to fall. Just get on your knees instead.

Until next time....

God
