After 3.5 years I wonder how much of our original intentions and ideas are still with us. You said this "i want to do this as a sort of spiritual discipline. i know this will help me work things out — whether they be personal issues, faith issues, church issues, youth ministry issues, whatever. if you choose to read, so be it." I thought I'd encourage you that in your blog you have wrestled with a lot of these things and allowed your readers to see how it plays out in your life. Thanks for being honest. Thanks for not worrying too much about "Alienating people" Keep writing and publishing because your voice is being heard and your integrity, honesty and leadership speaks well here.

It really opens you up to a lot of potential criticisms. I have a "private" blog that I let like 5 people read because of similar fears, I can say I think it is a great spiritual practice. So blog on!!!!! I admire your courage, starting a blog and then linking to it from the YS update! It really opens you up to a lot of potential criticisms.
