Blogging is Graffiti

I saw a movie once that stated that blogging is "throwing permanent graffiti up on the wall of the internet." I found this quite intriguing and agree to some respect. I love this blog. This was not always the case. I used to feel ashamed that I had opinions or thoughts on things about God. I would feel like I should really delete what I wrote, someone is bound to disagree and get upset with me. But, over the past few months, I have realized that speaking the truth sometimes gets you into hot water. The reality is that hot water can be soothing or scorching depending on how you look at it.

When I write, I think about what God is showing me in life and try and share it. Sometimes, I see situations in life, especially in our church, that need some talking about. But, one thing is clear, I do love God's church, as imperfect as it may be. Also, I do believe that all people, even the "worst of us", are deserving of love and God's grace. When I named my blog, I thought of a verse in John where Jesus invites all people into heaven. That is what I firmly believe. However, at times, issues need to be addressed and the Bible needs to be taken seriously. I am in no means an expert on this, just someone that has a truth compass that needs to be pointing in the right direction. Therefore, I spray some truth graffiti up on this wall.

The words I write are important to me to share. And, I am sure some of you will agree with what I write and some won't. However, the most important thing I'm concerned with is getting my message straight. There are times I won't get it quite right, but I am sure with enough patience, I will eventually figure it out. So, I do love this blog. And, I believe that even if not a single person reads what I write, I get my thoughts out and into space where something can be done about them.
