I Can Has Christian Love?

This past weekend at my brother in law’s wedding reception one of my wife’s relatives complained about her *christian testimony* on facebook.

Which I find more than a little amusing considering our pastor is one of her facebook friends and she is keenly aware of everything she says and does on there for that very reason.

I also find it amusing that the only people who can even see her *christian testimony* on facebook are people who already know her. Not strangers. Family. Friends. People to whom her behavior should be no new news.

And how tarnished would my own christian testimony be if I used the selection of tainted English that’s burrowing around in my brain over this to outline my contempt for their opinion? My wife’s relatives are fortunate in their cowardice – (they confronted my wife when I wasn’t around to stand up for her, and they did it at her brother’s wedding where they knew she wouldn’t make a scene) – because had they said any of this to my wife in my presence I’d have surely given them an earful despite the venue.

Carry your hypocrisy elsewhere, my crusty, bitter extended family.

I am confident in God’s judgment of my wife’s words and deeds as portrayed in our isolated little facebook village as well as on the world wider web and the vast reaches of our meatworld life.

She has nothing to be ashamed of, and if you had been brave enough to tell her specifically what *unchristian* thing you found so offensive, I think you would be surprised to find she is probably rather proud of what she’s done.

I know I am.

You are cowards.

The lot of you.
