I feel like I've been warming up a little bit to this and haven't REALLY said anything substantive yet. This one won't actually say much either. :-) BUT, I want to try to get down some stuff that's been rattling around in my head before it rattles right out.
I haven't filled out the blog's description yet because I haven't totally fleshed it out yet. But here's a few things I do know:
- I am a Christian and a conservative and love politics and current events.
- I want to do more than just talk about stuff, though. I'm really hoping that through vigorous debate and discussion, minds can be moved and people can go into action.
- Up front, I want to say that I am interested in and will be attempting to influence people - I want to make a difference in people's lives.
- In the process, I'm hoping to sharpen and clarify my own views on things as well.
- I'm most interested in the interaction between the Church and the State. Where are the boundaries? What is appropriate? What is not?
- I'm deeply concerned about the direction of this country and it's underlying culture. I feel like I can't just passively watch anymore - I've got to do something. I want to be a part in returning the culture to a place where, as a nation, God is honored.
- I'm totally open to debating the particulars of any given issue, but I'm personally more interested in one or two levels deeper than that -fundamental presuppositions that inform people's views. It's my goal to identify and speak on that level as much as possible.
Well, that's a start at least. Hopefully, this will give me and you some fodder for meaningful discussion.
