Framed By Faith.  I know what it used to mean.  But now I want it to be something different.  I’ll need to change a few things though.  Like getting rid of the Headlines title.  And figuring out what to do with the stuff on the right.  My daughter is my IT expert (along with her husband); maybe she can fix it.  And maybe add a Comments button back in for those who may want to argue with me.

I originally had the bright idea that Framed By Faith would be a collection of relgious-centered news articles, with no regard for denomination or doctrinal position.  The basis for this was my belief that God created us all and that his truth can be found in all religions — or no religion.  The title implied that our very lives are framed by our view of faith, or our ingorance of it, or just simply ignoring it.  It also represented a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that many of us are led by well-meaning, charismatic Christian preachers/teachers who might well be lacking in the truth, giving us wrong directions for our lives, thereby framing us.

Well, perhaps I didn’t give it enough time, or I just got tired of cutting and pasting and inserting all those news links and photos.  Some have considered me a patient person, but I know in my heart that I lack it in many areas of my life, and maybe this was one of them.  I just want to write.  About what, I’m quite clueless.  I know what I believe, which is significantly different than what I have experienced with the Christian community at large.  Maybe I’ll write about that.

Or perhaps it will emerge as a journal, of sorts, regular observations of what’s going on in the world around me.  I also would like to pick up on my other blog, Steve’s Journey (steves-journey.blogspot.com).  This is more of a chronological overview of my spiritual development.  Both blog and my spiritual growth are a work in progress.

My hope is that I’ll just keep writing.  In spite of my stops and starts, I love to write.  If I keep it simple, maybe I’ll keep it going.
