My wife introduced me to your blog a couple of days ago. I am a recovering christian. Reared in a Southern Baptist church, I moved away in college.... led in some wrong directions by a self-designed, carefully crafted, objective intellectual curiosity. The net result was a judgemental, dismissive mind set that buffered me from personal responsibility.
A series of personal blows that I didn't handle well left me in an emotional and psychological place that I could not cope with last year.
My loving and brilliant wife led me back to Christ. I am on a search for all the things I missed during most of my adult life. Your blog entries are cogent and indicate a seeking mind with a lot of insight. I would very much appreciate your permission to follow your blog and be included in your friends list.
Godspeed,
Bob Carter
