the warrior diaries:entry 1

"i am a warrior," i thought. and then i, the warrior, downed three fried pork chops, a piece of chocolate cheesecake and a huge scoop of banana cream pie ice cream.

that was last night. later, i repented and prayed for forgiveness. i was truly sorry that my path to higher ground and a warrior's body had been so easily diverted by down-home cooking and zero self control.

i prayed because that is all you can do when you have eaten your high-calorie content, low self-esteem.

i prayed because i truly regretted the fried pork chops, the cheesecake and the ice cream. and the only true sins we commit are the things we regret.

tomorrow, having been made holy again simply by asking (it isn't as hard as the bible and TV evangelists pretend) i will step back on the warrior's path and try...a little harder, a little fasting and a lot more prayer. because i just know, at some point, i am going to regret something.

addendum to prayer #1: chocolate chip cookies for breakfast, McDonald's, 7:37 a.m. the next morning.

It's true though...While, it's true that I killed and raped all of those people in that village, I'm asking for forgiveness, as I have found the Lord and would like to be saved and born again...Oh, okay, all is forgotten and you are fogiven and saved...

but i don't know. you don't seem sincere. do you really regret the raping and killing? i think you might be just a tiny bit happy about it. come on. admit it. all that sinning and material appropriation gives you a boner. the repenting is just public relations. even god needs a good ad man. especially where massacre and wanton destruction take a more holy turn!! be..all that you can be..in the lord's army!
