Here's my question. Do you talk to Jesus? Included for a Sunday. @Bamabww @It Takes Eleven What's Greg's tag?

Brandon. Do you talk to Jesus with your daughter? Tim, with your boys?

I'll bite.

In a literal sense, no I don't. But then again, of course, I would say believers don't either. Instead what I think is actually happening, is believers interface psychologically and emotionally with the character of Jesus as a stand-in avatar, or the personification of their idealized self. Now, if we go with my theory, then I could answer this question with a "yes" because I regularly appeal to, have internal dialogue with, and strive to mimic that part of "myself" which is the strongest, kindest, most compassionate, most patient, most responsible, most honest, most loyal, most principled, most fearless, etc. As good Christians would say, I often "fall short of the glory," and I don't always know which virtue I ought to display in every situation (e.g. should I comfort this person or should I deliver an uncomfortable truth?).

But I do talk about Jesus often because both (1) who I think he may have been and (2) how Rome decided to use him, are timeless lessons for humanity.

Good question. As an education and theology major, I like to debate certain subjects. As a Christian, I talk to Jesus on a regular basis. My drive to work is where I pray specifically for people, certain things and about me trying to be a blessing and good example to people I come in contact with. Do I fall short? Absolutely yes. Thankful for grace and mercy.

Don't talk to Him near as much as I should
