Conversations on religion in the news.
I'm a freelance journalist from what seems like the flatest state in the Midwest. I worked at a daily newspaper for eight years when I quit cold turkey to freelance my way through life. On most days I'm a Christian, and I'm still trying to figure out what exactly it means to be "Christian." I've found that many Christians and Christian theology and Christian philosophy don't fit into the neat and tidy boxes we want to pretend they do. So why Christ and not Allah, the Eightfold Path or L. Ron Hubbard? That's an easy one: Christ seems most reasonable to me. Dangerous, yes, with the whole pick-up- your-cross-and-follow-me bit, but reasonable. Since I'm the type that needs something to believe in, I wanted that something to seem reasonable to me.

Number one-great blog. All of it. Alot of information to digest.
God in his infinite wisdom has given us all choices. There are consequences to every choice and unfortunately some will not be addressed until we are in heaven. I am by no means an intelligent person but I continually examine myself to see how my words and my actions mesh. Every religion, political agenda, mode of family, etc. makes a choice. All I can do is walk my talk. You can tell alot by what a person says but you can tell even more by the path they travel. I will know who someone is by there works and their hearts. Words are too simple. Show me something. Then I know what you stand for and can make a choice. I do know that there are many "wolves in sheep's clothing:) I actually wanted to comment much more but it is hard to type with a baby in your arms. Especially one with gas....Phew.
