Uncle Donnie's Views from Under the Bus

Hi. I'm Uncle Donnie. My family throws me under the bus regularly. I've decided to prove them all right.

These are my views, opinions and dogma. They don't represent the views of anyone but me. Whaddya gonna do? Leave the gun, take the cannoli. Lean back, drink some chianti, and enjoy my views from under the bus.

Do you think Lebron James likes meatloaf?

Uncle Donnie is sick about hearing about LeBron James. Enough already. Is he going to
New York? Miami? Chicago, Montego, baby why don't we go- Oops. I guess that reminded me of an old Beach Boys tune. Anyways, I bet Wilt is turning over in his grave. Wilt
the Stilt and Dr J. were my most favorites of all time. Hey, I know, give me L.J.s money, give him a feather and then we'll both be tickled, you know what I mean? Stay in Cleveland L.J.

Did you ever notice the similiarities between God's Church and a really good meatloaf?

I didn't think so, but today is your lucky day because Uncle Donnie is gonna show you the similarity.
It goes like this: God fashions His Church from two distinct groups, Jews and Gentiles. A good meatloaf is comprised of two distinct meats, ground beef and ground
pork. That's right, the Gentile is the pork and the beef is the Jew. The only person who can keep these two groups together is The Holy Spirit; He's the one making this
meatloaf and keeping it together. This is why when we make that really good
meatloaf, we crack one big egg over the beef and pork to help bind them,so that the two become one. To help with this binding, this knitting together in love, God gives His church His word, and His word fashions and tightens together all who are in His
church. Likewise, our meatloaf is fashioned and tightened together with a few bread-crumbs, giving it consistency and texture. Oh yeah, don't forget that the breadcrumbs
are like Jesus,our "bread of life", and the living Word upon whom we truly feed.
So then, God says to The Spirit,
"Give My Church these nine gifts, or fruits, so that my church can flourish and be desirable: love,joy, peace,patience,kindness,goodness,faithfulness,gentleness and self-control."
So we then add to our really great meatloaf these nine ingredients for flavor: diced onion,minced mushrooms,chopped garlic, a little chili sauce,a splash of worcestershire, a good pinch of salt, a good pinch of pepper and a little drizzle of ketchup on top at the very last. We combine all these ingredients and form them into one loaf like God takes all the necessary ingredients to form his church.
So then what?
Well, our meatloaf needs to be baked in the oven for a while at just the right temperature in order to finish this savory dish. In the same way, God puts his church through the furnaces of trial and affliction at the right temperature, and for the right amount of time, to accomplish His goal: that His church give herself to service and worship and to draw many to her Heavenly Chef.
Our truly great meatloaf is consumed for our physical needs.
God's truly great meatloaf is consumed for His Glory and for His purposes.
I bet you guys knew this all along and now you can attend the meatloaf of your choice.
One last thing, if we are to pray without ceasing, do you think that we might cease
without praying?

Stay in Cleveland L.J.
Ciao,
Donnie
