I had a conversation today with my Puerto Rican Friend, Polo. It was about the fight last week between the Mexican gangs (there’s been a rumor going around all day that one of them died). He said that one of his Christian brothers was one of the attackers.
Then he wasn’t a Christian was he?
I like playing the devil’s advocate in these kind of conversations.
Yeah, he’s a Christian, but sometimes it’s hard,
he said.
He may have said he’s a Christian and a believer, but his actions say he doesn’t believe.
I don’t know, I can’t be the judge of someone else.
That’s true,
I had to admit.
It’s hard for some of these guys in here. There’s a lot of pressure. He probably didn’t want to do what he did, but if he didn’t, he might have been the one to get stabbed.
If it came down to it, I think I would rather be stabbed than to have to stab someone else…just don’t hit me in the neck…or the heart.
We laughed at that, but it’s not at all a funny situation to be in.
Buckminster Fuller was an American engineer, inventor, and philosopher. He said God is a verb
. I take that to mean that actions speak louder than words, and if you believe you act accordingly.
