I’ve got weddings on the brain. My daughter was in a wedding last weekend, and this Saturday I’m going to a party celebrating the 65th anniversary of my grandmother’s sister and her husband. Seemed like a little marital humor was called for.
A young couple was tragically killed in a car crash just before their wedding. When they arrived in heaven they asked Peter if they could still get married.
Peter said “I’ve never had a request like that, but I will check into it.” He then suggested that they think about it and come back in 5 years.
Five years later, Peter said He was sorry, but they would have to wait another 5 years. They came back a third time, and this time they were allowed to have a beautiful wedding.
A month later they came back and said, “This is a disaster, we want a divorce.”
Peter said “Look you two will just have to workout your differences, if it took us 10 years to find a preacher up here, how long do you think it will take us to find a lawyer!?!?
The point is, preachers and lawyers are sinners. I’m a sinner. Are you a sinner?
Before you say it, yes, I do realize that even my attempts at humor often take a serious tone. What can I say? I’m serious… like a cancer.

I really personaly think we all have sinned (except Job, read that book in the Bible if you don’t know what I am talking about). I know I have. P2P gets you every time. On my blog I just had a thing about Shooting video games, does God consider it killing? Just read my blog to see the rest of it. But I think video games do count somewhat. We have all lied, we have all done something wrong before and I think everyone is a sinner(except Job). I do a confessionary prayer every week (I’m presbyterian) and I think that helps me a lot. I think I will go and put up a blog entry about my religous beliefs.

I believe we’re all sinners. The only person in history who went their entire life without ever sinning was Jesus, and even he was tempted. It’s unavoidable. However, that’s why we’re allowed to repent of those sins and ask for forgiveness, both from God and from those we’ve sinned against. I make no attempt to persuade people I’m perfect, I know I’m not and they know it too.

“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23
This not-so-subtle point is often overlooked by humanistic moralists.
