Did your mom ever tell you, "You can't go there it's not safe, there's crazy people there." Or, "Be careful, there may be weirdos out tonight." I wonder- why is it not safe for us "normal" people or what is so unsafe about it? I mean, at some point did a normal person say, "I am just gonna go there, " and become a crazy person, so therefore it is safe for them there now; all because they are a crazy weirdo person.
So what my mom ways always saying is... only the crazy weirdo people are safe there. I don't know. I mean, if you go to a dark ally (usually we wouldn't go there cause there might be wierdos in there) but if you did, would you be considered a weirdo? How long does it take to actually become "those crazy weirdo people?" Were they born that way or did it take some time? Are we all the same? Do we all come from the same place? Are we all weirdos?
I think fear has always been instilled in us. From a young age we are being told not to do certain things because "the bogeyman will get you." Then we grow up afraid to risk, afraid to step out and find the crazy weirdo people we are asked to love. I want to find the crazy weirdos and tell them I love them, tell them Jesus loves them, and tell them- "I'm a crazy weirdo too!"

People only become "weird" after someone labels them that way. We were all made with unique qualities, likes, dislikes and not too mention "weirdness." The next time you think you are scared of a "weirdo" just think... they may be scared of you too!
Hey sister this is little sister.....i miss you already....but dont worry i am having a great time here...i just wanted to say that my undies wish you a marry christmas!
I too am a crazy weirdo. What makes someone crazy and weird all at the same time, I don't know. But, at times I do sit and ponder what circumstances or situations have played a part to bring a person to be what some may call a crazy weirdo freakazoid. It boggles my mind. What is the definition of a crazy weirdo, no one really knows. But I am so glad their here! And I take comfort in knowing their not leaving any time soon. I also know Jesus can take great pleasure in them.
I have more thoughts on these people, but this is it for now.
