Coming Full Circle

I originally started this blog to cover my journey as a new Christian and it eventually turned into a place to put my political thoughts - especially after he-who-must-not-be-named became president.  I’m at the end of another 3-week Facebook Fast to pray for others far from God (which I usually do anyway).  Again, it was refreshing to not see political posts that rile me up.  I simply kept my eye on the news and watched the CBS evening news if I felt like it (I record it every day).

Since I’ve already written a lot about why I can’t stand the Con n Cheat, gun control, healthcare, tax breaks for the wealthy and large corporations, abortion, etc...  I will keep most of those opinions on Twitter (@BuckyYuen).  There will be an occasional post here still, but most of you know where I stand.  Think John Pavlovitz (except I’m not a white male).  

I will try to go back to blogging more about my Christian thoughts, doubts and journey.  Yes, I have doubts from time to time... but that’s probably not as rare as one would think.  While praying for non-believing loved ones, I have to pray for myself too.  That’s what I learned during the 3-week fast.  I don’t think I’ve ever really had an ah-HAH moment that others talk about... and I don’t necessarily feel a real close “friendship” with Jesus.  I pray and yet I sometimes wonder if praying is just “sorting stuff out in my head.”  I see/hear right-leaning friends say stuff, and I wonder if we really worship the same God... Anyway, it’s still a “journey to doubtless faith" for me.
