			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-148" title="Guns_Beer_Christ_Flag" src="http://journey.formitus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Guns_Beer_Christ_Flag-300x249.png" alt="Guns_Beer_Christ_Flag" width="300" height="249" /> It&#8217;s that time of the year again, that&#8217;s right, it&#8217;s time for the quarterly Guns and Beer for Christ get together. This year I had some extra time and I decided to create a logo. I&#8217;m also considering a website for some reason&#8230;I don&#8217;t really know what I would do with the website right now but that&#8217;s just what I do.</p>
<p><strong>What is Guns &amp; Beer for Christ?</strong></p>
<p class="first"><span class="drop-cap">I</span>n every area of our life we need to allow God to take the center piece. As humans we fail constantly yet still this is the goal. I&#8217;ve noted over the years how people who attend Church frequently seem to develop a degree of Christianese, that is, they create a Church persona, language and all. I believe that I need to be the same person, a struggling Christian no matter where I am and what I am doing. If I can&#8217;t include God in the things that I do then I need to stop doing them.</p>
<p>In my case I like to drink an occasional beer, I also like shooting guns. God needs to be the center piece of my life even when I am doing these things. As a result I created a ministry called Guns and Beer for Christ. The ministry is simply what it says: Shooting guns and drinking beer. In an effort to be responsible in the things that we do the two are separated, the shooting comes first.</p>
