Thank you.
It was a year ago today that I started to publish this blog. No one has been more surprised than me at the reaction. Over 100,000 hits have been registered. Newspapers have commented on it. Bloggers link to it. Some people love this site and others think I’m on crack, doomed to hell, or engaging in same-sex relations.
What I’m actually doing is trying to faithfully articulate a viewpoint absent from a lot of religious dialog these days.
God is good. God is just. God loves those who are poor, rich, oppressed, free, sick, well, suffering, fulfilled, gay, and straight. God is not a Republican (or a Democrat). God doesn’t support George W. Bush’s political campaigns. God doesn’t support preemptive war. God doesn’t support discrimination. God doesn’t support the destruction of God’s creation. God stands with the oppressed over the oppressors. Argue with that if you want.
Being faithful doesn’t always mean you’re correct. Plenty of times I suspect I’ve been wrong. I’d rather try then be silent. God is still speaking.
Thank you to all who visit this site. One year later publishing this (reader supported) blog is still fun.
He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?- Micah 6:8 (NRSV)
