In my last post I discussed how I am learning to be more comfortable with the phrase, “I don’t know.” I discussed that knowing why something is happening is not as important as following the Truth.

I made a decision long ago that I was going to be real on my blog. I don’t want to just post “good Christian thoughts” just to post them.
