About this blog
To start with...
This is not something I normally do. But I think it's the right space to execute my plan. At this time, I find I need better understanding. I find myself having a lot of questions. I want to use this space to introduce myself at first, just for the sake of background. But in general I want to use it to discuss issues on my heart, and to do an open Bible study.
The idea is to help me search the scriptures afresh and issues that arise from that. It needs to get practical. I am deliberately avoiding starting a thread or reading through old ones. This will allow me to direct things in appropriate directions. It also means I can change topics. I welcome comments and discussions. I cautiously open myself up to this because I have a need to start looking at my faith more critically. I am clear on the basics. I trust the Bible. I say "cautiously" with reason.
I don't want to end up more confused than ever. I have been questioning in my heart who I can trust. Especially online. If you understand my background, you will understand why. In general, I have found that online advice and information can be dangerous, even when well intentioned. So don't take it personally if I hesitate to accept something. I also ask for patience and no heated conflict. My biggest worry is that I'm not going to be able to tell what to believe. I'm hoping to be teachable but I don't want to be deceived.
I also hope to include fellowship and general discussions about what's happening in my life. I encourage humour.
