truth wears pants.

So I have been realizing a new and exciting trend in my life due to my studies. Contrary to what I have been warned, I am finding that studying the Bible on an intellectual level has strengthened my faith. I am changing. My core beliefs are the same, but I am finding more and more flaws in my expression of those beliefs. I am being constantly challenged by Scripture to be a follower of Christ and not necessarily a Christian. I spend lots of my time bucking the system, I always have. I am learning that this is perhaps something placed in me purposely. I don't want to get too detailed about my arguments against the church, but they are there and are merited by scripture. Somewhere in the screwed up history of the church, there has been truth lost. I have decided that truth is my priority. I don't want to be the person who knows what to say, or how to act. There is something to be be said about couth, but I believe that too much over the years had led to a version of Christianity that is no better than the Jewish order that Jesus spent so much energy speaking out against.

That all being said, I must proclaim the joy that learning is bringing me. It is truly great to know something well and be able to apply that knowledge. I am having fun and am growing at the same time.

Oh and can I just say...I have had a great season thus far on the golf course. I have had AMAZING scores. I am not one to brag, but it is like a miracle. I all of a sudden not only have control over most of my shots, but I am learning how to hit multiple types with each club. I also was able to hit the green in 2 on a par 5 for the first time ever, that was a thrill. Good things.

I am writing some songs again and for the first time in my life I am truly happy with them.

Hmmm. thats all. Sorry for the sporadicness of this post. That is not a word but I don't care...you all get the point.
