Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you’ll take some time to participate in the discussions, even if Christianity isn’t your thing. While I believe in Christ, and hope you will too someday, I respect your freedom to disagree and believe what you want. In fact, the reason why this became my doctoral dissertation topic and the renewed focus of my blogging is because I realized that my entire spiritual journey and college education has been for you, as much as it has been for me. Even though I’ve been a Christian since high school, I still feel like an outsider.  There is a huge gap between beliefs and religious practices that I have yet to bridge in any meaningful way. The goal is to discern, know, and live truth, and it is my hope that we can do this together.
