I felt that the last two post were pretty good.  But... What good is all this effort if no one reads?  I do learn when I write.  It is like I think in print.  I work out my thoughts as I put them in type.  So this is some kind of public personal therapy?  But it is a little discouraging as I believe the Lord has gifted me and no one wants my gift.  (lip quiver, sad wet eyes)  Well, perhaps I could wallow in self pity or maybe I will just see this blog as an internet storage back system for some of my articles.   

Well then...  Let me share:  I have been studying Revelations.  It has taken me deeper into what I think about end times and the rapture.  I have never really studied it.  I was content to just not know.  I always felt it was more important to spend my time on things that would serve Christ now, like evangelism.  But I have sunk my teeth into this and one study always leads to something more.  Chain reference...  Look up one verse on a topics and who knows where it will lead.

I am not satisifed to believe what I am taught no matter how much I respect the teacher.  Not as long as I have read the scriptures and it contradicts what I have been taught.  Then I seek to find out if I am mistaken in my understanding.  As long as questions remain I can't really check my brains at the door and go along with the popular dogma.  If scripture puts a shawdow of doubt on a teaching then I will study until there is light enough to remove the shawdow.  Makes sense? 

Not chasing shadows but rather seeking light... who knows where it will lead?
