Some of my uncles tell me I should write more blogs. Ok. Ready, set, go…
I am a questioner. Those of you who know me can testify to the fact that I have always questioned the colors of life surrounding me. The phrase, “Because I said so…” has permanently ingrained itself in my brain due to my constant questioning as a kid. As I get older, however, I realize the importance of asking, probing, and searching for the things that lie deeper. I refuse to allow tired clichés, facebook profiles, and unlimited text messages to cloud my sense of reality… And reality tells me that people are starving for TRUTH. This world is aching for something authentic, something stable, and something they cannot understand the answers to- which leads to, that’s right, questions! I don’t think Jesus wants us to accept things as they are; He wants us to dig for answers, pry through the top layers. This world was contains the glory (Hebrew translation= heaviness) of God; therefore, there is depth in everything. Find it. Questions lead to a passion to seek answers. Question everything… it is only then that you we will be able to KNOW TRUTH. “Because I said so” is never an acceptable answer to anything.
I hope this all makes sense… I’m kinda just throwing out random thoughts and sound check is in like 5 min… Live LOUUUUDDD!!

I agree. Pastor tells a joke about a lady who cut off a portion of the ham and threw it out. When asked why by a friend, she replied,
'cause that's the way my grandmother taught me.' After being questioned by her friend, the woman asked her grandmother why she did that and her grandmother said it was because the oven was so small, it wouldn't all fit. That's what happens when we rely on tradition instead of understanding. Don't ever stop asking questions, but also be sure you don't stop listening for answers.
James 1:5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
See? Now, was that so hard? We will watch for more. Now I will have to write, I have been missing for a while.
Oh yeah, congradulations, Your mom sent us a picture of the ring today.
Uncle Westy over and out.
Notice that a preponderance of replies to your blog are kin. That’s the case with ours also. Some in this circle are followed by others (they have cute babies & critters) but for the most part it’s a familial event. So after viewing the ring and the attached pic how ‘bout some particulars? Bloggin it might save you some time.
There's also no guarantee that replies will in any way address your blog ;~)
It sounds like your parents never gave you a reason for anything. I don't think I said that much and I know your Dad didn't. ????? jk
Your mother is worse than you! I followed the link to her blog. She set it up but hasn't posted ANYTHING!
C'mon Nan, jump into the ring!
