confession: i tend to hide behind a veil of sarcasm. you could even go as far as to say i thrive in sarcasm. i seek out friendships with those who are the same way. i deflate others’ self-esteem with brilliant poise and razor-sharp wit. let’s face it, sarcasm is a plain girl’s bestfriend. but is it very Christ-like?
- can you be heavily sarcastic in your everyday dialogue and love the Lord at the same time?
- are you a giver of sarcasm or an unsuspecting recipient?
- if you’re a giver, does your clever wit ever shadow Christ or are you simply having fun “Speaking the Truth in Love” (eph. 4:15)?

First, I think there is a difference between being sarcastic with friends and those you love and being sarcastic with others. Some people get it. My wife is very sarcastic, for example. Its a matter of the heart. She wouldn’t do that to spite someone.
My friends and I communicate through sarcasm, mixed with a healthy dose of encouragment. That’s key to developing relationships. Without the encouragement and love, sarcasm will wear the relationship down.
I also noted the dumb one in the class was named Kevin. Not funny. :o)
Ps. Where would be without Montey Python?

Hahha.

Crystal–I’m a little gullible and can have my head in the clouds sometimes. It makes great fodder for anybody wanting to come along and make fun of my blonde-ness. Even though it’s actually dark colored approaching salt-and-pepper.
On another note, what does a dude need to do to get a link on here?
