Words are powerful. My favorite book, the only book to be made flesh, says that there are life and death in the power of the tongue. So, I don't take blogging, writing, or any words from my mouth lightly. I make an effort to ensure that every word I speak over my marriage, children, and future is positive and life-giving…though humor, sarcasm, and even complete nonsense have their place. Although, I have a tendency for humor that lets me laugh for a minute but leaves me thinking for much longer.
I described myself recently to a friend as being motivated by the Holy Spirit and God's creativity; infected with a passion for big dreams and fresh vision; and not the least bit concerned with what's traditional, with dead rituals, or the latest religious fear tactic. I am driven by a passion for the kingdom of God, uncompromising in my Faith and my relentless pursuit of Truth (with a capital 'T') and by a fierce need to see Christians reflecting God’s love to the world...this occasionally leads to some friction between myself and others. And I remain unapologetic concerning my faith; yet; I pray that you feel that I've considered your view and treated you with the respect you deserve.
My prayer is that in your reading something that I have written it will resound within you and bring you closer to our Father (the way, truth, and life.) I can't bear the thought of your living without the love that is beyond all comparison and the joy that supersedes all circumstances...This is bigger than me and much more than pretty words, this is reality and the most unbelievable of dreams made real.
I pray you'll see that my life is a testimony to that...
