Splitting Hairs

I posted a blog on my other site that is probably more geared to this one, so here is a link.

Da DA Is Back

For anyone interested I re-resurrected my Steve's Daily Account postings. Newer blogspot posts can be found here. Old-fashioned posts can be found here.

The DA is basically for a more personal look into the life of Steve. Don't peer too close or too long, it has been known to cause tumors.

Letter To A Son

I've mentioned this author, Matthew Paul Turner before. He's a really neat guy, from what I've deducted from his books, videos, and blog posts. What distinguishes him from many other authors is his complete transparency. He is never afraid to bring forth his hopes, fears, mistakes, wisdom, embarrassments, triumphs, observations, and questions in a way that makes me feel like he's a good friend looking out for me.

He is now a father to be and wrote a letter to his son expressing the things he anticipates in their relationship to come. It's honest and close to the hopes and concerns that I have anytime I think of me one day being a father. I thought my reader(s) may enjoy it.

My Undesirable AB-sence

No, I'm not talking about why my abdominal muscles are so much better than yours. I'm referring to why I have not posted a blog in exactly 2 months. Wow, 2 months... I didn't realize it had been that long. You guys must be seriously depressed and lacking in wisdom.

There are a few reasons I haven't been around. First, I got a part time job for a few months, which will be done after Tuesday (woohoo!), that took over much of the free time previously dedicated to blogging and picking my nose. But due to the overflowing of need, both for my blog and my nostrils, I am here. There other thing kind of weighing on me was meeting up with Nash Garret (Mike) to learn how much I don't know. It's been a great time and I'm learning little by little; however, it left me feeling like maybe I should take time off from blogging. Especially early on I felt like I know nothing about anything, which I know is kind of true, but not totally. Either way, this blog is more for me than for the 3 who read it, so it's important to document how my thinking changes and stays the same over time.

For a while my brain was always thinking of things very easily translated into posts, but then it stopped for a few months, and I didn't even know what I would blog about, despite all this new information. Now I feel like I'm back, plugged in, clicked on, full speed ahead.

Let me know if you missed me.

The Dumb Shall Speak

Hey. I don't know how many readers there are out there, but I'd love to hear from you more in the form of comments.

When I say "dumb" in the title I don't mean that you are stupid, because I know all my readers are of exceptional IQ, but rather that you just don't talk.

So please give your input, give me arguments, give me scriptures, give me encouragement, give me perspective, and give me money! Ok, you don't need to give me money, but I could use it.

Sometimes blogs like this can have some nasty things said in comments toward the blogger or others commenting. Let's not be that kind of blog. Let's seek truth together while singing happy songs like "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor." Alright maybe not, but at least be nice.

I expect an onslaught of comments to start.... NOW!

If I Have Readers

If anyone is actually reading this, please leave comments.

I know things I say may be agreeable, disagreeable, or somewhere in between. So let me know.

As my banner says, I know almost nothing, so other thoughts are definitely helpful in making sure I'm well-rounded and aware of many possible truths.

Let's See What Comes

I've been thinking of starting up a blog on here for a while.

I have/had a Daily Account blog on my own site

Along with a "Think about It" section for deeper thoughts/essays

It was all made with my Apple Powerbook G4 laptop, until it was stolen one night out of my car. That was the beginning of a downward spiral. Recently my tires got slashed, and then 4 days later after buying new tires my car was miraculously chosen to be totaled in a high speed police chase in front of my mothers house.

Anyway, all that to say I'm waiting to get a new laptop (soon) and until then I just can't take not having a medium for the world to hear about my life, love, and ideas.

I don't know if anyone will read these, but I will most likely copy and paste them onto my own site when I recreate my website with the coming of a new laptop.

What else do I write here? About me? Umm... people usually like me I think, but they don't like my ideas, or at least they're skeptical of them.

There will be a lot of thoughts that come about from my exploration of life, religion, books, relationships, and the practical steps I take in my journey toward a new old way of living.

I like to think a lot. I like to wonder about uncomfortable issues. I think places I dare to go make some uneasy or fearful of me being swept away by a secular tide of post-modernism.

I do love God and I love Jesus. I will not deny that I am doing my best to not take Christian religious ideas as solid truth just because they were handed down to me. I am learning, researching, and discovering for myself what God desires and what the Bible means, as well as how they both fit with the world today and in other beliefs/religions.

I'm glad that talk is out of the way. Now let's get crackin'!
