I'm sorry for my strange posts lately that haven't made much sense (perhaps including this one). I've been in a funk and somehow posting has helped get it out of my system.
My friend, Christy Kurtz, made a good point yesterday that in theory its good to be transparent—avoiding the facades, pushing past the posturing—but in reality it's not good living in a glass house. Not everyone will understand what someone is trying to say or intend. In addition, sometimes the message I'm trying to convey is only intended for the moment and doesn't necessarily reflect my usual situation. This post sort of falls into that category.
When I first started this blog it was my intention to be real with it. To show both the joy, sadness, and confusion I'm experiencing in my Christian walk. Right now I'm experiencing all three.

Don't let what I said change the purpose of your blog. You could very well prove me wrong. In fact, I hope you do.
I've been thinking about a new tangent on an old subject. It might take a while but a blog will appear in an unfrequented spot.
I don't want the purpose of my blog to change. But the reality is some people (employers, ministries, etc.) will take it the wrong way.
Yet at the same time, as the Opinion Editor at the Accent, I got to be myself.
I don't know, I'm still trying to find a balance.
I can't wait to see what that new tangent is. It's funny how we've known each other for a while now (relatively speaking), but you're really showing me what a special writer you are (and leader). You got a second career in it.
