who, why, what, where???

Sooo, who is this random,  incoherent dude who can't formulate a SHORT sentence if his iTunes account depended on it?

I could give you the long answer but I think we've all had enough of long, drawn-out introductions on the web. You'll get to know me (and I you, hopefully) as the this journal called Blog progresses so the details will emerge, I'm sure. All you need to know for now is that I love Jesus and want to be real about it, the highs and lows, victories and losses, faith and doubts... basically everything to do with life. I don't have a theological degree so I don't claim to be a scripture expert. But I do know my saviour and I can talk about him as some people talk about their best friends.

I've read so many blogs about Jesus and what faith looks like (or is supposed to look like) and while many of them really serve people, I think there is a danger of becoming so focused on what we're supposed to be that the real struggles get lost. I've often found myself doubting my faith because everyone I heard spoke about what the bible says and all I saw was my shortcomings. This isn't supposed to be a pity party, just a really honest journal of what life with Jesus looks like  and sometimes there are answers and sometimes there aren't.

The whole "even if only one person can identify" thing is true, as cheesy as it sounds. I'm definitely not looking for a my own band of apostles. The thought just made me smile :) No no. I won't be offended or disappointed if 2 or 3 people read this and move onto another blog. All I want is to share. After all, that's fellowship, isn't it? I LOVE the church, even if I criticize it sometimes. I don't want to to be reckless with how I use my words and I'm certainly not looking for confrontation. BUT I don't care for political correctness either. So if I say something that offends you, I might apologize and I might right a follow-up post to repent. But like I've said, I want to be real.


So after all that and the broken promise of a short introduction here it is: I'm a sinner who needs and loves Jesus, just like you. Let's see what comes next.
