So I’ve never done a blog before. Well that’s not quite true. Several years ago I did Blogit which didn’t satisfy my outlet too well. I was a different person then, very carnal, very entrenched in the world. I lied, swore, stole, drank and abused my body, then I found Jesus while having a nervous breakdown. Maybe that’s too much information for a blog but that’s me. I believe in telling the story that saved my life again. I believe in a true and just God who is out to save me and not punish me. I believe that God lent me two children to raise in His word and bring to His church on Sunday. This is what I believe.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like my faith is never shaken, it’s just always there; kind of like the hairs on your head, face, arms or legs. Sometimes it gets shaved off and you think it’s gone and you wake up the next morning and there’s stubble. Faith is like stubble, always there, sometimes shaken, but never truly gone. Amazing, huh? Keep in mind that God is always there, always the same, yesterday, today and forever.
I don’t know how this blog will turn out or where it will go. It’s a nice thing to know that I can sort of ramble away and not lose track of where I’m going. My life has been a long circular journey. I started someplace a long time ago and now, though the roles are reversed, I’m there again. I’ll post more when my brain gets acclimated to being able to pour out freely again.
Welcome to Blogging and welcome to WordPress… I have recently begun blogging again and I find it to be a very therapeutic experience…
I am touched (and reduced to giggles) by your comparison of faith to stubble! My “5 o’clock faith shadow” was ignored and denied for so long and I am just recently back to church and back to my faith…
God has loaned me one son (so far) and I strive to teach him about God… he lives with his mom who is very “anti-Christian” so it is difficult sometimes… but I pray for my boy every day…
don’t worry about “Maybe that’s too much information for a blog but that’s me.”, there’s no such thing as TMI in your personal blog…
good luck and enjoy… drop by my blog sometime if you get the chance
SDG,

Thank you for getting back in the game. I think the most important thing about blogging is sharing different points of view. So please keep on writing, and comment a lot on other blogs – the best way to start is by clicking on one of your tag words, like “God”. That’ll direct you to other blogs with that tag. One last thing, Please lose the “Just another…” by going to Options on your dashboard. I only say that because some people will see that and assume you don’t know what your talking about!
Again, welcome.
i agree with kip… come up with a fun tagline or delete it all together…
