This blog was never intended to be shared beyond a small circle of friends and family (as evidenced by the lack of followers and readers -- I guess that means I can check off this endeavor an an unqualified success!). I've "pushed" this out a couple of times on Facebook only to discover the blogger equivalent to the age-old existential question about whether the tree that falls in a forest makes a noise (i.e. If you post a blog that no one reads then did it ever exist in the first place? Or something like that). In any event, most of these entries try to engage those who have already tried God and found him wanting, whether in regards to goodness and mercy or just plain old reason. “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” James 1:27
