You have to be a little odd to follow Jesus.
—Rev. Katrina D. Foster, Pastor of Fordham Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Bronx
Truer words have never been spoken. A link to the article can be found here. I especially like the chorus of “Amens” which followed that proclamation in that statement, given in a sermon.

Well, that’s reassuring: I’m pretty odd!
D.P.
It’s always nice to know that God likes to surround himself with interesting people. Heaven would be pretty boring if it were full of normal folks.
A monk on retreat once said to me, just before the Great Silence: “If heaven ain’t fun, I ain’t goin’.” I never did ask him what he thought the alternative might be. I suppose, either way, it would be hell.
A little odd? Heck, when I started going to church, I was convinced for a while it was the beginning of an incipient brain tumor. Seriously.
True, so very true – except for me, of course. I’m perfectly normal, myself.
True — true. Since the word “queer” is no longer available for this use, I’m just fine with “odd”.
I’ll vouch for Grandmère’s normalcy. I am the arbiter of such things.
I’m odd.
And Mimi is too Odd.
Don’t listen to KJ…what does he know? He’s odd too!
That’s so true.
