Spittin' Into The Wind

Why do I write? Well, my #1 motive is that I like to think, and writing helps me to do just that. I can write something and then look at and say either: "Hey. I like that." or "What the hell was I thinking"? Exactly! True, I'm often prone to getting a rise out of folks by occasionally being just a bit outrageous, and hopefully thereby prying a reaction out of them and challenging them to think outside of the box. But as a Preacher, it was often hard for me to secure any real, in depth, responses to my Preaching. Oh, I'd get the occasional, "Nice Sermon Rev." or "You hit a little close too home today Rev." but I never got any details as to why it was "nice", or as to why it might have "hit too close to home". Now had those discussions actually occurred, they would have been alive with spirited ideas and opinions, and we'd have had a lot of fun! Whatever, you may wholeheartedly disagree with a whole slew of my thoughts here, but that's OK, cause if these words of mine made you think, and maybe induced you to develop a considered and researched rebuttal, then my labors here were well worth the effort. And that kind of outcome would, for me, be sufficient.
