A Judgemental Jerk for Jesus...

...that's what I heard a stripper-turned-saved blonde call herself recently. And a judgemental jerk for Jesus is what I became about five years after turning my life over to Christ in 1999. I looked down my holier-than-thou nose at everyone who didn't go to church back then, like her.


Thank God for bringing me back in balance and showing me my own faults and how to let people come to His Son thru love. Which poses my current dilemma. A woman who I tried to "win by love" said she didn't want to hear about God during every conversation. I didn't understand why the name God would offend a supposed Christian...I spoke about a lot of different topics.


Anyhoo, I sent her a bunch of Joyce Meyer tapes a while ago. She sent them back. I left her alone and prayed on it. Lately, she's been talking to me about listening to Donnie McClurkin... Again, well, for the first time actually.

She even talked about wanting to get Inspired By The Bible Experience: New Testament, and asked me if it was a movie. It's not, but this preview of the amazing audiobook that features everyone from Denzel Washington to Blair Underwood to Common (interesting because Common professes Allah...I hope God gave him the "Choose ye this day whom you will serve" passage) reading the New Testatment looks awe inspiring and life changing.

"You could listen to it in your car," I told her. This time, if I do send her Inspired By The Bible Experience: New Testament, I hope it doesn't come back to me...

Thanks, Daddy's Girl, your blogs look interesting, too. And might I say you're doing great for a 250-year-old!

I've gotta check out some Bollywood movies...

I'm sorry, Paula, but I have to say this...this is the first day I've been to your site, and you are absolutely NUTS!!! I can't get off your site! This is ridiculous! You've got way too many things to read and absorb and apply and...well... I'll be back daily. Thank you...

I love your site Paula! I got hooked on it a few days ago, searching profiles on Grey's Anatomy. I was so happy to find out you are a believer!

Anyhoo, you talk a lot about being judgemental in the past. How did you grow out of this phase? I know I'm a sinner too, and I'm not supposed to judge; but Sometimes I feel like I give the "scolding eye" towards people. I would like to be able to talk to my non-christian friends without feeling "appalled" at certain things that are sinful.

Thanks!

Hey Kwiz! I'm glad you called me a good nuts, not the right-wing nutjob term that lots of liberals have adopted.

Hey Melissa - So glad you found me. Please enable that profile of yours so I can check out your blog!

Just think of the worst thing you've ever done in life, then think about it being broadcast for the world to see.

Imagine how folks would judge you!

I guess that thought gives me more of a compassion for people.

I love the compassion shown by Julie Lyons aka Bible Girl in her writings.

Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net. Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries? I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reporte

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
