A Brief Caveat

After re-examining my past couple blogs, I'm feeling a little chagrined for the possible negative tone that can be read into what I wrote.

In writing these blogs I'm just trying to hash through the things about this class that I don't understand. I'm trying to make sense of what I believe in the midst of all this new dialogue and information.

Hopefully I will never feel guilty for having my own opinions and beliefs, but I don't want my strong opinions to come across angrily or spitefully. I don't intend to give up being opinionated - I only hope that I can be opinionated with grace and integrity.

So as you (whoever you are) read the things I have written that make me feel vulnerable, keep in mind that I am not purposefully trying to stir up argument or pretend. I'm only trying to find out the Truth, the one that makes the most sense. I'm only trying to express the internal struggles (both positive and negative) that are seem to be induced by this class. I'm only trying to thoughtfully discuss the implications of the ideas expressed in class.

Maybe I've confused you more, but I have put my mind to rest.
