It has been brought to my attention that I have both offended and hurt a number of people with some of the content that was posted here on this blog.

For that, I am deeply apologetic.

There is an understood cost that is associated with blogging, one that I’m willing to risk and take but not at the expense of my brothers and sisters.

Yes, blogging, generally speaking, is offensive. Yes, there is a consistent culture clash with those that “live” in this world and those that do not. Yes, feelings do get hurt: It’s undeniable power of appearing authentic, genuine, and transparent must be met with humility, grace, and wisdom. I, at times, have not shown the latter.

I have begun the process of making recompense and have already engaged and discussed the matter with the people that have direct authority over me and those that love and care for me. I will do my part to meet with all the rest whom it has affected.

But there are a few that I would humbly submit and request that you engage me, because I’m not aware of everyone and their feelings and I don’t know how many times it’s been passed around and how far it’s gone down the internet bunny trail. If you do, I will guarantee you that I’ll respond in a manner beffiting the greater calling that God has in my life.

All this has been a necessary educational experience for me. I appreciate the honesty, the feedback, the rebuke and correction, and the restorative power that Christ has in our lives.

I’m simply too dysfunctional to do it on my own and it’s been made clear that if I try I will fail.

Thanks in advance for all the grace that’s been given to me thus far; I’m going to need a whole lot more.
