Uh, what did he say?
My life's broadcast can be hard to interpret, even for me. Attempts to patiently leaven culture can seem like mumbling. I still carry a thick accent from the dominion I was rescued from.
It's partly why I write. A transcript helps bring clarity.
Time Lapse Formation
All of us have learned. We all have come to new conclusions. When we change our minds, people need us to show our work. Those who see an abrupt change could think we have just 'switched sides'. Without a view into the process, they will write a story to make sense of things. "Did it for money." "Did it to fit in." A lot happened between the two snapshots. Share the process. It might be instructive. It might even be persuasive.
Leaving Love Behind
We love because he first loved us. — 1 John 4:19
When we move straight toward the light, our shadow falls directly behind us. Shadows cast in other directions might mean independence or indifference. But when we pursue the Light of Life, we leave a love impression.
