On Sharing Thoughts
I haven’t been posting much here, but it hasn’t been because I haven’t had thoughts to share. I’ve just become less convinced that my theological and political reasonings, combative as they are, are of any use to anyone. I don’t enjoy getting into arguments, but nor do I enjoy letting things that seem terribly wrong slide by uncontested. Nor do I want to give the impression that I am not “open to reason,” as James describes true wisdom.
Therefore, I think it would be healthy for me and possibly useful to others to express, once again, my thoughts here, with the understanding that these things are still being worked out. This is a blog, after all, not a compendium of finalized conclusions (even if I write as though they are sometimes).
At a recent Bible study I shared some thoughts that I had been keeping bottled up for a while, and folks seemed to appreciate them – even jotting a note down or two. So expect some reasonings – unfinished, tentative, “open to reason,” but at the very least, there.
