WHY? I'll tell you...

I wanted to take a quick moment to clarify as to why I do this blog, as some confusion has come from a few of my posts. The basics are simple: I lived a crappy live, I got married and had a son, I really started to embrace God. The point is in the grey areas, the places most Christians don't like to go or to talk about. I want this to be a place where people can talk about their lives, past and present. This is not meant to be a "God only" forum, nor is it suppose to be a place of judgement. Everyone is different. It's simply amazing how we have become who we are today. Each story varies. Some people go through harder stuff than others, some people just coast through life. We all make choices and we are who we are because of this. I want people to talk about it. Come out of your comfort zone and be open to being changed and changing others. You may have went through something that a current reader is just now experiencing. Think of the help you could be to that person in that dark place. You could share how you persevered through it, leading to a drastic change in some one else's circumstances. I want this to be a place where anyone can say anything, not be chastised for it, and we can all discuss it in an adult manner. I know a lot of people read this blog, but choose not to comment. That's OK. I hope you are getting something out of it. But to those who are actual contributing to the conversation, whether it be by guest posts, or blog/Facebook comments, I sincerely thank you. It's not easy discussing this stuff. I've put out some very personal, agonizing details of my life, with more to come. It's not just about talking about my religion, or lack there of. It's about hope and determination. We can all love one another if we quit being afraid of each other.
