vision for this blog

in many ways i am still trying to find the right tone and subject matter for this blog. i know that i could stop writing about my experiences and opinions and instead post links to conversations that are happening about the emergent church and all things "postmodern". maybe sometimes i will still do that... but i think there are plenty of blogs that do this way better than i ever could.

what i would like to do with this blog is tell small stories about how i have caught glimpses of (what i perceive to be) God in my life. i haven't ever really tried to write anything like this before, so i am kind of nervous. and when i try to tell these stories, i really want God to be the focus of them, not me.

maybe some people will think that by starting out from that perspective (of having God be the focus) i cannot be objective about my experiences. the thing is, i am not trying to be objective, no one can be. we all start out from some perspective anyway.

so, thats the plan.

i am not sure if i can even talk about some things, if i am even at the place where i can write about things yet. i don't know how to write or talk about God in a way that is real enough, genuine enough. but i figure if i don't at least try that i won't ever learn how to talk about God in my life--so i might as well try.
