Reintroduction.
I’ve decided to do something different, and to start over with this blog. I’ve taken all of the old stuff down, because I don’t want to burdened with what it used to be. I would much rather move forward into what I want this to be in the future.
This mostly used to be a blog about faith. Sometimes that meant being about political or social issues, sometimes it was even about culture and media. I want this to continue to be a blog about faith. However, things have changed. In the future, this blog will become more about a search for faith. My hope is that it will be a conversation about faith and what it means for our world and a search for truth as much as we can know it.
I don’t want the project to be about being a Christian, or to be about not being a Christian, or even to be saddled with such baggage (though I fear it inevitably will be). Rather, I’d prefer this blog to be a conversation about truth, and all of the pitfalls and impossibilities that we ignorant souls encounter when looking for it.
This will, I’m sure, be about things we are all familiar with, God and Jesus, heaven and hell, the Bible, etc. However, what I’m hoping is that the tone and the nature of the conversation are different than what I have come to expect from these sorts of conversations. Perhaps that is naive of me, as I know what sorts of passions that these sorts of discussions inevitably arouse.
I wish I could lay out a set of guideline for what this is and is not. For it will be and will not be, but I cannot. Instead, I will simply view it as an opportunity—an opportunity to step away from certain baggage and commitments and to think a while about things that might or might not be true.
