A new direction

After much thinking and reflection, I've realized that I have been unfaithful to those of you who wanted to read about my life in a foreign land. I apologize to those few individuals who may fit that description!! With that confession I do want to alleviate that problem and begin a new project. First, let me say that I find it somewhat troublesome and difficult to honestly share my perspective of life to everyone. It is not always good and not always helpful. In fact, I believe most of my knee-jerk reactions to life and people should be reserved for my closest friends and family. Because of that I find it highly unadvisable and uncomfortable for me to regularly blog and give you a "diary view" of my day to day life. 

However, I do want to share what I've learned. I have had plenty of life experiences that I believe you can relate to and enjoy. I want to expose the filth of the human heart while at the same time displaying the unfathomable love of our Creator and God. I want you to see how great God is in comparison to how rebellious and troublesome we are. With all that said, I do not feel comfortable exposing to the world my shortcomings and those I observe in others. To me it seems improper for everyone to be able to read honest thoughts about easily identifiable people, places, and cultures. Those secret thoughts will be reserved for my close friends, family and God.  

But don't be dismayed. I do have something to share. Something I've been working on in my spare time. Perhaps now is the time to begin allowing you to read those things. I invite you into a different world. A world different from your own. A world totally inspired by my own personal experiences. A world that is mine and not yours. Perhaps those who have shared life with me at one time may be able to discern illusions to particular real events. But, I plead with you not to attempt an identification of the particular event to which I am referring. Just enjoy the story and watch how the characters interact. From this point forward I will publish fictional stories inspired by real events. Truly, each of us are "living and breathing in another world." Enjoy!
