That Kind of Relationship

By Ryan, July 14, 2006

Now that we have my best friend posting on this blog, who knows what will happen? You’ll notice that this is now “Christianity through the eyes of teenagers” instead of “Christianity through a teenager’s eyes.”

Now that the welcoming is done, let’s go live to the original post already in progress.

...ited for myself because in a matter of hours I get to see Rob Bell in person. Sweet. My infant cousin, Derek, will be there as well. His nickname among me, himself, and his 3-year-old brother, Grant, is “Little Dude.” That originated with Grant and I calling each other “Dude” a long time ago... back when you had to teach him how to be cute.

Grant really looks up to me as far as I know. More than once, I’ve heard stories about him asking his mom where “Dude” was. I feel so happy when I know that he loves me enough to not only ask where I am, but to call me by our little “special nickname” for each other. He apparently looks forward to seeing me and talking with me, and I look forward to each opportunity to spend time with him.

I think that that’s exactly the kind of relationship we should have with God. I’m not saying that you have to start off prayers with “Dear Big Dude” or finish them with “in Big Dude’s name, amen” or anything (although you’re welcome to if you want), I’m just saying that we should be spending enough time with God that it becomes something that we want to do 24/7.

Gosh, that sounds just like Rob Bell, doesn’t it? Can’t you just see it:
