Why I am doing this

I turned 40 one month ago. In October of this year, it will have been five years since I stood in front of a congregation and delivered a sermon. Now I'm going to try again, for you, my friends and readers. My faith is sloppy, messy, and consumes me more than I admit. My theology is a bit pantheistic, a bit process, and a bit pain in the ass. We'll get to those terms soon enough I suppose. Anyway, I don't give a shit if you're Christian, Jewish, Muslim, atheist, walking the line, some funky amalgamation of all the above, I need to know what you think. I need you in this conversation. Email me. Comment here. Send me a text. Write it down, pen on paper, and mail me the letter. We all know the USPS could use the business.

Yep, I preached. Officially licensed pastor and all, in the United Methodist Church. I'm no longer a pastor. No longer a Methodist. Barely a Christian. Wildly in love with the teachings of Jesus, a counter-cultural, crazy-ass, shit stirrer...and maybe (???) the son of G-d. I sure don't know. But if I let this seminary education and all these countless hours spent in my head go to waste, it's going to eat me alive. So I have decided to start writing it all down. See you soon. God help us, every one.
