Blogging

Let it be known, first thing off the cuff in this blog, that I am not perfect. I won't quote scripture perfectly, I won't always say the right thing at the right time. And that's okay with me. I think that God has been pushing me to write it out so that He can show me the logical fallacies in my thoughts and so that He can guide me towards the right answers.

I would love to hear back from you guys. I will, most likely, anxiously await comments. I want to know what you like, what you don't like, and when you think I'm a crazy bat. I might not agree with you. Knowing me, I probably won't agree with you right away regardless of what you say. That's the way I am. All that being said...

1. I do not debate. I am always open for discussion, but I won't get into Scripture Slinging (cough Facebook) or long, winded cross arguments. I respect that I may be wrong, and I ask that you respect that you, too, may be wrong. Or, say whaaaaa, that things can be interpreted differently. If God intended the Bible to be read one way, then I think He would have given us a checklist. Instead, He gave us a beautiful, confusing, crazy, amazing story. And as an English major, I know that stories grab and hold everyone differently. I read different things every time I read a passage or a verse. It's based on my mood, on the other passages I've happened to read that day, and God's interference. So please, let's always hold tight to love and respect and don't try to debate with me.

2. Speak with love. Again, I may be wrong, and if you are a fellow Christian, you should feel convicted to correct me if I am wrong. I respect that. But please, do so with love. I have gotten to the point where I can't even read the comments on my favorite blogs because they are so filled with hatred, anger, and accusation. That's not what this is about. So please remember that I am a person, with feelings and emotions.

3. Keep it real.

4. Speak your mind

I'm sure that I'll add more/elaborate more in the future
