Welcome

The purpose of this is to give you a glimpse into my thoughts. Quite often, my thoughts are random, abstract, inconclusive, and nonsensical. Every once in awhile I make sense. Over the past year or so, I've been on a sort of a radical spiritual journey. I've began questioning the way I and or we go about being Christians. I don't question the Bible or its absolute authority, but I do question tradition and man's input on the whole thing. So, basically, I question religion. Jesus seemed to be pretty down on religion Himself. He said in regard to the religion of the Pharisee's, "...you can't put new wine into old wineskins." The new wine will make the old skins burst, they can't contain the new.

My thoughts are that I have been trying to mix Jesus with religion, not a good mix I've determined. So, in this blog, I hope to finally put in writing what I've been thinking, little by little. If things don't make sense or seem wrong to you, they might be. This is not my statement of faith or anything else, just thoughts. I'd appreciate any and all dialogue on the subjects I address. Thanks for reading and thanks for praying.

Well, I noticed that your heading says Andrew and there's a picture of Andrew, yet this is signed by Becky. Does he know you ghost write for him?

But, excellent point. Michele is not necessarily privy to my thoughts. I'm sure I've talked to Michele in part or portion about most things I think, so nothing should be a mystery to her, but things posted here are my responsibilty and do not neccesarily reflect the point of view of Michele.

Thanks Becky, we miss you guys.
