Explanation...

I currently already have a blog at http://www.xanga.com/airforcejim . But then today I realized how incredibly much cooler this blog site was.

My purpose for this site is not really far different from my other one. It is a place where I record my thoughts, ponderings, discoveries, failures, triumphs and most especially my journey as a believer in God's son.

Why the name? Sounds a little simplistic, eh?
Well, I named it this because sometimes God has caused me to realize the most profound things while I just sit on the porch swing and think. Sometimes we have our most profound moments when we are completely still and all that remains is the whisper of God.
Sometimes it is in simplicity that we can identify the fingerprint of God.

I have been married for a year and almost three months and I have a son who is three months today.

I'm not into "church" very much, at least not the way that most people are in America. Church as they do it here is often just a stage where people are coaxed into acknowledging God. I'm looking for real belief though, not the so-called american dream mixed with watered down theology. The truest example I have seen of a true believer has lately been a man out west whom my younger brother has been supporting, a man who deliberately became homeless for the sake of Christ. This nation clings so tightly to their possessions, most do not have the courage to do such a thing. I desire faith like this. I am not content to simply attend church, strum a guitar, listen to a sermon. I want to live life, and live it entirely different than most people consider living.

I want to know Christ and in the fellowship of His suffering. Who knows what I will encounter on that journey?
