I get so bent out of shape with people who say "I don't go to church. I can't find one I like. I don't like the hypocrites. I don't like the boring music. I don't like the rock music".

I always say to them "It's not about YOU. It's not about how the church serves you. It's about how YOU serve the church".

Needless to say, I am up to my eyeballs in free dumb looks.

That is a good reply to those statements. I will use that one.

Right on. First sentence from "The Purpose Driven Life," the national best-seller by Rick Warren...

"It's not about you."

You'll have to read the rest of the book for a full explanation.

By the way, I love your tagline. When you get tired of it, I'm interested. I collect used taglines.

Bingo!
