Looking Into Glass

A journal of questions, thoughts, ideas, and even a few answers that have shaped my journey so far. I seem to keep coming back to the same 2 questions: Who is God? Who am I?

I've discovered that this experience we call "life" is more than a series of disconnected events and conversations. In my short time on earth, my lifetime has been a journey. I've travelled from being a helpless infant in my mother's womb to a man approaching middle age. I've travelled from the clay dirt of south Georgia to the coast of Brazil with various stops all along the way only to come full circle to south Georgia once again. But perhaps most interesting of all has been the spiritual journey I've taken. Now understand that my spiritual journey is radically interwoven with the rest of my life. I do not see life as compartmentalized. All of it is connected in some way. And to me the foundation of it all is the spiritual. My understanding of God (first and foremost) along with my understanding of self has been dramatically changed and shifted and is still in the process. Yet, the more I learn of God, the more ignorant I feel. So many unanswered questions that outnumber the answered questions. And that is the essence of my spiritual journey - Who is God? Who am I?

In our pluralistic culture, I suppose it is important that you bloggers understand that I come from a Biblical worldview. Now please don't peg me as narrow-minded and bigoted. Most Christians aren't. We've been portrayed as such and in many instances, rightly so. These ideas and thoughts come from a man seeking to live the life God created him to live.

I hope you will read my blogs in authentic reflection. Perhaps a moment of life transformation, even a small moment, will occur in the midst of your reading. I offer to you this journal full of questions, thoughts, ideas, and perhaps even a few answers. They come from my journey so far. So I am a work in process. I welcome your response.
