In General Interest

For a long time I tried to write a little blog; that would be honest in life about faith and my walk with God. It was my way to serve others. But today as I opened my personal journal I saw saw many changes in my life. Changes I wished I had made before: reflections that I should have recorded earlier and now I see that I want to share from a different direction.

I always have tried to be honest; stating my concerns and positions. But even there: there was dishonesty because sometimes struggles I was having I did not print. Other times I made things "cleaner, purer and sweeter" than life was really dealing.

This was to keep all people comfortable and be a safe place. But the problem with that is that is also was not truly dealing with the realities that Christian's face. It was a "better image" of the realities in my life. Fake.

Today, I am changing. I am starting fresh. What I post here will be totally true; the good bad and the ugly. The only things that may be changed is the names or places of people that my transparency would affect. Then they may be changed.

I am not trying to convert anyone; and probably only people of faith would even be interested. I am not seeking to do anything except share my life in hopes that in some way my "story" will encourage the fellow journeyman. I am a believer. I believe in a loving God. I love my God and wish all people to have my faith. But I am in journey. I screw up; I fail and yet keep going.

This then, is simply my story. Take what you like; leave what you like. Do not feel condemned; as I do not condemn. If you have no faith; that is your journey and your experience. I will respect that too. It is God's job to visit you. I hope he will; because for me it brings peace and I wish joy and peace on all mankind. It also is my path and I allow you yours.

God bless any reader.
