I Am__________

I am King Saul

No, it’s not my stage name. There have been many “kings” that have gone before me. The King of Rock, The King of Pop, and I am sure there is someone that either in their name or in their hype is the King of Rap or maybe that would be spelled Kg Rhyme. I know there are still kings of many countries including our Canadian figurehead in our constitutional monarchy. The desire for royalty even popped up in the USA starting with their first leader after getting rid of the British monarchy, George Washington. Americans had what was the closest thing to a royal family in the Kennedys and some might argue that the current president with all his executive orders is in a way being like a king. But I digress. I am King Saul even though my name is David!

I Am The Tower of Babel

I had dreams of being more, of building up to heights never seen before. I had a plan that I could complete, that would make me complete. I would put everything I had into it, and in time, it would make me everything I wanted to be, everything God created me to be, but it all came crumbling down.

I Am God

That’s a scary statement! It may be less uncomfortable if you assume that I am applying the rules for the title of a literary work by capitalizing each word. I could have been calling myself a god not the God but because it is a title it requires all caps. Then there is another possibility. I could be me attempting to grab the attention of the reader with the intention of pointing out that we are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27 NIV). Maybe in a strange way this does make us God. Maybe, but I am not comfortable even attempting to defend the suggestion that I am God because I am made in His image.

I Am Eve

A rather strange name for a man to use. For this reason, I will be only using this name for this post. I felt it necessary to change my name because I haven’t changed my behavior. The luciferin temptation to worship my intellect, define my existence, to create my own boundaries of right and wrong, has slithered its way into who I am.

I Am A Quitter

The words shocked me. They were untrue descriptors of me but still I was left wounded. I had uttered the words, “I feel like quitting,” in a private conversation during which I expressed my deepest sadness. What should have remained private was now being revisited in a public forum, entered as evidence in what was no more than a kangaroo court along with other out of context quotes. This truly wasn’t going to end well for me. “You are a quitter. You told me you felt like quitting so you are a quitter.” The mock trial ended and I left for my car. I took my painkillers as I had so many times before so I could endure the hour and forty five minute drive home and began my journey.

I Am Very Disturbed

Now that I have your attention let me make it clear, I do not have bodies buried in my basement. I have not started to run naked through crowded shopping malls. I am not responsible for the disappearance of family pets in any neighborhood I have lived in or for that matter any neighborhood that I have walked, driven or cycled through. I have not gone on any long winded, irrational, disjointed rambling rants although I do preach so someone might disagree with this one. That being said I am still very disturbed…
