The Christian status quo is often empty and confusing for many people, including Christians. That’s partly because original Christianity wasn’t mainly about forgiveness, as we’re taught today. It’s mainly about life and opportunity for well-being through love for God, self, and neighbor. Forgiveness is just part of a whole.
By making choices with the free will God gave us and learning how to do what Jesus—not religious experts—says to do, anyone can discover his secrets to sound well-being in the midst of confusion. So this blog explores relationships, practical faith and knowledge, Scripture, living life, and what it really means to be gloriously (and clumsily) human in God’s attentive eyes.
Whether you’re like me, a Christian for many years, or just a curious onlooker, I hope that unlearning bad theology has you smacking your forehead when new life begins to make more sense!

People in general and the Christian community specifically, including myself, are definitely lacking unity in love and “the full riches of complete understanding.” It is so hard to love others as Christ does on a regular basis. Most of us can love here and there on occassion, but I don’t know anyone who really knows how to love all the time.
