Too Safe

I've gotten a little far away from my original intent for this blog over the past year or so-- mainly in that I've been a little too safe.


Like this. I mean, Jiminy Cricket...

Partly that's just because a lot has been going on in that deserves protection from the Sauron-like eye of the Interwebz. Partly it's because I've had some increased readership, and that's led me to over-sanitize myself.

Here's to trying to let a little mess back in, because guess what? My life is messy. It's sweet and beautiful and wonderful and amazing on many levels, and on other levels it's frustrating and complex and occasionally despairing. Like most lives, I think.

At every level I am both thankful and intrigued by the ways God is at work, and when I recognize those moments, I try to write about them. I'm not promising to never be opaque or to hit you with any huge reveals or anything, but lately God's been more at work in the back alleys and underpasses than the picture windows in my life. Isn't that worth writing about, too?

I'm thinking it is.
