Thoughts About Thoughts

So...here I am, thinking I want to blog about things I think about. I think about a lot - mostly in bits and pieces. My thoughts are serious, curious, relational, reminiscent, personal, real, silly. I make myself cry, laugh, frown, sigh, even sing - all inside my head. I love to read and think about what I read. How does it affect others? Me? What else do I want to know about what I just read? I think about my thoughts and actions. Am I right? Wrong? Judgmental? Hypocritical? Selfless? Passionate? Amiable? I don't think of myself as demonstrative, fervent, or intense. I'm surprised when I find I am just that.

I believe in Jesus Christ as my personal savior, a literal Bible, a God that hates Sin yet loves humanity deeply and purely. My thoughts are flavored by this worldview. I know that opening up myself to the world - to YOU, friend or stranger - will challenge me, bless me, hurt me, and, in the long run, inspire US to simply be better. That is my hope. My prayer. My purpose.

I will write about all these things for your reflection as well as my own. I hope you enjoy my thoughts and provide meaningful thoughts in return. All I ask is you be kind to yourself, me, and others that may comment.
