Going Public. Again.

I have a secret.  A secret blog, that is.  And it's not so secret after all... it's a public blog.  I just haven't exposed it here.  Because it's a Catholic blog, and it's personal, and I am incredibly leery about sharing it.  But apparently it's been found, I allowed it to be seen on my profile, and now you have been tracked:).  This blog began as my way to remember our story, and now it is my deepest hope that it will be used to make a bridge between varying Christian communities.  I long for Unity, and although I understand that disagreements will arise, it is my prayer that they are discussed with accuracy, not with misunderstandings and unfounded misconceptions.  I hope to dispel some misconceptions with my thoughts. 

Even now, as I am about to post a link, I am nervous.  It's a look into my soul, my journey, and my beliefs.  You can get pretty beat up in today's world for sharing any one of those things.  It's much like walking into a dinner party and asking each guest their political leanings.  We American's frown upon such things, because they are by very nature, personal.  And, even Christians, in a large part, can fall into the belief that my thoughts are mine, and yours are yours, and arguments among believers should be avoided at all cost.  Let the things of highest importance be agreed upon, and the lesser ideas, be left at the door. 

I believe to some extent in that thinking.  Yet I also believe that some things that many might consider "lesser," are in reality the most important issues in life.  And if the Lord has for some reason given me this gift of his Church, I should not be terrified to share it.  I feel the joy of Phillip when he exclaimed, "We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth!"  I want to share how very present he allows himself to become, and to be known, within the Church.  I want to share about his body in the Eucharist, his family of the saints, and the Fathers vast love, for me, and for the world.  I want to explain how the lesser ideas became important, because they illuminated Jesus in a way I had never known him before.

So I say this, if you desire; come, taste, and see that the Lord is Good within his Church.  And read the blog.  If you are looking for pictures, stay here.  They will still be updated.  But if you are looking for a testimony of his Goodness... then follow me, Here:
