I'm back

I'm back.

I created a few blog posts a few years ago, and got into some trouble with a relative who read my writings. At that point I simply gave in. I gave up. I quit blogging. I quit being honest with the world via this space about what was rolling around inside my head.

Now, 2 years later, after 'blogging' rants via Twitter, a young man asked me if I blog. My initial answer was "well, I used to but I don't any more." But, the reason I quit blogging has been bugging me since he asked that simple question.

I quit blogging because a relative couldn't handle what I was blogging about. I didn't figure that my blogging was worth a broken relationship with someone who has the capacity to make my life a living hell (select relatives have that capacity...it's part of the role). It didn't seem fair to my kids, to have my blogging be some kind of wedge between their relationship with the relative.

Relationships are funny things. Power is a funny thing. Power in relationships is like some kind of funny thing squared. Weather I blog of not, I suspect that I will never been a good enough Christian in some people's eyes. But, at the end of the day, when I look myself in the mirror, I am very comfortable with the kind of Christian that I am.

So, if people wanna read my blog then good on them.

If people don't wanna read my blog then good on them.

If people wanna throw crap in my face about my blogging, then they can go to hell.
