You're totally weird and very proud of it.

People from all over the world, to learn about different cultures and ways of life... Chuck Liddell, Gael Force, Robert Duval, Nelson Mandela ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Christians - By Maya AngelouWhen I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'." I'm whispering "I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven."When I say... "I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak And need His strength to carry on.When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed And need God to clean my mess.When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible But, God believes I am worth it.When I say... "I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name.When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!
