Instructions Before Reading

I stand by the right to publish incomplete snippets. The point of this blog is to share life. If there is a unity in my life, it will become apparent what that unity is. No post is a complete thought, theology, worldview, or poem within itself, it must be taken within the context of the entirety of this blog, considerations of who I am in public as well as who I am in extreme situations like when I am forced to wake up at 4:30 in the morning to help my wife jump start her car in 20 degree weather.

I recognize my right as a flawed human being to do the following: 1) be wrong, 2) change my mind, 3) be inconsistent, 4) have improper grammar and spelling conventions. You are just as flawed, wrong, capricious, and prone to theological alteration as I am... so get over it.

Living Liberty-Living Love

Jesus came to set us free from sin and death. He freed us to be ourselves, to love ourselves, to love him, to love others. I'm not sure where I got the idea that when I became a Christian I was supposed to continually hate myself. Tried that, doesn't work. The more I know Jesus, the more comfortable I am in my own skin. Sin is pervasive, I find little flakes on my skin and huge chunks underneath that require surgery. I hate the sin that's in me; but that's not me. It's a disease. Jesus cleans me up and says "Wow I did a good job when I made you." I wonder if Jesus laughs at my lame jokes.
