Ragamuffin soul . . . means Carlos Whittaker living wide open unashamed for GOD as He shapes him for holiness.

Hard work GOD does on us, but when He’s through we are worthy to be in His hallowed presence.

grace and peace

My name’s Isaac, and I’ve followed your blog since you had it over on Typepad. Anyway, I wanted to apologize to you – because I’m that guy that posted the insulting and inappropriate comments on your blog this afternoon.

I honestly don’t know what came over me… I was having a really bad day at work, and was nearing the edge of losing my temper – and then I read your post and for some reason I took it the wrong way and it just set me off… you saw the result. That doesn’t excuse it, but that’s how it happened.

As hard as it may be to believe, I’m not prone to lose my temper – and I can’t remember posting a hateful comment like that in my entire life. I’m absolutely ashamed. I respect you as a brother in Christ and the ministry you have both at Buckhead Church and online. Your blog HAS ministered to me and encouraged me over the years, and despite my PMS-ness, it is a great community.

Oh, one other thing – if you’d like to continue to ‘roast’ me publicly, I’d totally understand – but my employer is actually a great place with a lot of people who contain more self-control and apparently more emotional stability than I do. Tell people my name and phone number as frequently as you’d like (it’s at the bottom of this email), but remember that it was me that wrote it – not them. They’re innocent.

Finally, just to show that I’m not doing this as a cowardly way to back out in secret, I’m also posting this on your blog and mine. Hopefully this will indicate to you that I am being sincere.

i just laughed so hard i almost spit out my sweet tea. that was amazing. thank you, los, for being awesome.

thank you, john, for being the pansy catalyst to amazingly hilarious quotes.

Btw, Ragamuffin Soul reminds me of Rich Mullins…

Silvana

Los – Ragamuffin soul means to me that in my heart of hearts – my soul – is dirty and depraved – but i have the love and grace of a savior – and that is why i praise Him – psalm 63:3

looking forward to the night of worship tomorrow night.

Oh, it just doesn’t get any better than that!!!

Let me just say this…I’ve never even had a conversation with Los, yet…but all I know is that his blog has (and continues to) change my life.

Ragamuffin Soul? it’s meaning to me?……a willingness to continually strip away my inner pride and lay my naked, ugly, broken, messed up self in the dust at my Creator’s feet.
