What You Believe

Because I control the conversations and ideas of this meager little blog, but am wanting other people's input, I am starting this topic in hopes that whomever may read this may state their views on any subject regarding their faith.

It has come clear that either those who read this either completely agree with me, or simply do not want to openly discuss what is on their mind. This blog is a learning tool. Please feel free to express your faith here. I would love to discuss our similarities and/or disagreements in views.

The pompous like me always freely give our opinion. With the emplacement of ideas and thoughts of others, I may in fact bring life to this withering blog.

Christian Documentaries

This past weekend, I tried to find some time to unwind and find a semi-vegetative state of mind. Consequently I turned on the television and began channel surfing like a pro. While doing so, I stopped on a series on the Discovery Channel about the life of Jesus. I assumed the content would offer a bit of leisure time. Instead, I was disappointed.

Let me begin by saying that I understand the unfortunate truth that not every person in this world believes in Christ...or any religious entity, but when we Christians, who by the way are still in the majority, are in the midst of one of our most cherished times of the Christian faith, it would be nice to watch documentaries which actually reflect our views. This particular program explained the Christian belief in the death and resurrection of our savior, but went further and explained why some people believe it not to be true.

I would like to unbiased documentaries produced by historians who believe. I guess what I am discouraged with is the fact that they can't even produce on brief documentary without blaspheming or trying to disprove our faith. The explanations they give are absurd with no proof. If the producers do not believe what we believe, then they should find another topic rather than defacing what we hold dear.

Am I the only one who gets irritated with this? Maybe so.

My Life as of Late

Wow, it really doesn't seem like two months have passed since I've last written in this blog. For those of you who are curious, I will explain my absence.

Near the middle of January, I was unfortunate enough to have a viral infection. Nothing serious, but it did put me down for a week or so. Shortly after, the medical supply firm I work for began making drastic changes...luckily, the were positive changes for myself. For the last month, we have been preparing, moving, and opening a new office. This is where most of my time has been spent.

Now, with the girls in dance and soccer, and my busy work schedule, I have found no time to write or even prepare many ideas for this blog.

Thursday, I will be portraying St. Peter in our church's production of "The Living Last Supper," inspired by Leonardo's fresco. I merely have a seven minute monologue then spend the remaining to the production in an awkward pose, while counting the seconds before I can relax.

I'm hoping to Begin finding more time to write after this week. In fact, I am determined to find time this week to write. Until then, I hope you and yours has a blessed week.
