What’s This Blog About?

Hi.  I’m Kris and I am a Christian.  No, this blog isn’t going to preach about anything.  I am just a Christian on a journey of discovering my purpose in Christ and struggling to achieve that and to walk closer with God.  Here I’ll talk about struggles and spiritual journeys I am going through, as I suspect many others are also going through things like that too.  All topics presented are open for discussion and a free exchange of ideas.

I am not one of those Christians who does not talk to people of other faiths.  I have friends of many different religions and of no religion at all, and I love the diversity.  Anyone is welcome to comment here.  The only rule is that everyone must be respectful of everyone else and their faith when commenting.

Some topics that will be covered are faith and call to discipleship.  I’ve recently been called to go into mission work, specifically with an organization such as International Justice Mission, that rescues people from human trafficking, forced slavery and the sex trade.  So, at the age of 36 preparing to leave my comfy life and apply to law school.  I am also in the midst of a spiritual journey of learning about my relationship with money and posessions, and modifying that to be congruent with my walk with God and different from American consumerist culture wherever necessary.  These and other topics such as current events and more are appropriate here.

Again, I am not exemplary or trying to preach or present myself as any sort of expert.  I’m just searching and trying to grow in consciousness and intentional Christian living as described in the Bible and lived by the early church, despite many of the things that have been perpetrated in the name of God in the thousands of years of church history.  I am always journeying back to the source, back to the Good: always to remember to love people first (no matter how many times I might fail).  I hope that this will be a place to explore such issues.

A little more about me – I currently work in Marketing, sing alto in my church choir, have practiced yoga for the past seven years, am active with an artists group in my city, love to read and write, tend to vote Democrat (most of the time), am vegetarian, garden in pots on my condo’s deck and generally like to enjoy simple pleasures. Volunteer work and social justice are important to me.
