A Look Inside My Heart

First, I want you to know that I love God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. I hope you do too. The thoughts expressed in these pages are from my heart to yours. There is no agenda, and no expectation. I just hope you read and are blessed.

All people are jaded. Now that I’ve made that bold, in-your-face, statement let me explain what I mean by it. I’m attempting in these pages to talk about things that are important about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. At least they are important to me. Every conversation about God should be God-centered, but all too often they are person-centered, and that’s where trouble comes in.

Every day I hope I’m more God-centered than the day before, and that every day there’s more God in my heart than me. But I don’t suppose this side of heaven that there will ever be a time that my flesh is not part of the equation. That’s where the jading comes in. I hope that as we talk about loving God in these pages that our own attitudes and sinful natures are suppressed as much as possible, but to be completely free of them is probably not possible.

At the start at least I’m intending to add pages to this site once a week. I hope I can maintain that pace,

I think about God a lot. I talk to Him, wonder about Him, praise Him, worship Him, and glorify Him. I hope you do too. My understanding about God is constantly being stretched and so certainly there will come a day when I seem to contradict something I’ve said before. Please forgive me when that happens; it simply means I don’t have all the answers and I’m growing too. Also, please forgive me if I offend you. I have no intention of doing that, but I’m just as sin-prone as anyone else, and I stub my toe a lot. I hope it doesn’t happen too much here.

This page is called a blog, but it really isn’t. It is a website. There’s no open forum for communication. You will see a Leave a Comment link throughout. These are opportunities to communicate with me and me only. No one else will ever see the communication. I ask for your name, but only so that I can address you. I don’t really care if it is real or not. I would love to talk with you, but understand, if your comment is nasty, you won’t ever hear back from me.

As we go forward, I hope my ponderings and wonderings bless you. I always enjoy talking to and about God. I hope the same for you.
