Our friend, David Crossman, wrote this song many years back, but the other day I was reminded of the common view of God. It is taught by some that faith is a private thing, that what you believe is whatever you make of it. God is basically what you make of Him. Davids' clever lyrics show the absurdity of this idea, and remind me that God is God. I am not, He is never wrong, never makes a mistake, and He is who He says He is. Just wanted to share this song with you all.

"LOW PRESSURE PORTABLE GOD by David Crossman
Well, I've got a little god of my own design
I wrap him up in feathers, and he looks just fine
I take him off the shelf and dust him now and again
And his clothes are interchangeable with Barbie's and Ken's
And that's why I love my
Personal and private low pressure portable god
Well me and my god you know, we're just like that
He lets me wear his coat, I let him wear my hat
And, coincidentally, he's just my size
And that's why I love my
Personal and private low pressure portable god
We me and my god, you see,
We've got an understanding that is mutally fair,
He comes when I need him
Otherwise, it's just as if he wasn't there
And that's why I love my
Personal and private low pressure portable god
Well, churchy people bug me when they poke and they prod
And they ask a lot of questions 'bout my personal god
"Well does he love you? Can he save you? Does he have a plan?
And I try to tell 'em that "he doesn't think like that!"
And that's why I love my
Personal and private low pressure portable god
We me and my god, you see,
We've got an understanding that is mutally fair,
He comes when I need him
Otherwise, it's just as if he ..."
I have an MP3 copy of the song that I may post for you to enjoy. Just forgot to ask, and want to make sure we do things right.
