What is life but a platform where we air our thoughts and feelings?  Quite a bit (to say the least), but it's hard to do a whole lot more on a blog.  It has been difficult not writing; not having that typepad identity, regardless how appropriate.  Needless to say, two more lapsed quarters in seminary, umpteen books, and a world that keeps moving towards globalism and uniformity and I still have the desire for a place to air my stuff.

So suffer a while with me if you will.  I'm going to try voxing here on the free version typepad.  It's cute.  I'll give it that, but cute might be all I need.  Functionality can come later.  I just need a net to catch some thought-filled butterflies that flutter around in my head. 

While on typepad, I struggled with two things:  what to say and what you would think if I said it.  I'm getting over that right now.  I've stayed away from politics in the past because they are such hot issues, but my faith thrives in the heat.  Not in the red/blue schism, but the right/wrong split.  Like Isaiah standing before an all powerful Ahaz, the gospel breathes life into all aspects of living.  Life is not political.  Politics are simply a part of living and if we've learned at all from Jim Wallis, it's that our walk with Christ must transcend dual party politic and encumber itself with Kingdom perspective. 

So, prophetically and vindictively (I'm still a sinful cuss):  When this particular President took office, knowing his performance as governor in a single state, I said...more like proclaimed...This is a President who will "Go Down in History" period.  What we suffered in the Lone Star State, we have suffered together as a nation and no amount of chain forwarded email from beyond the grave will convince me otherwise.
