Realizations


Over the past six months I have come to a number of realizations. From time to time I have shared my realizations with friends, family and colleagues. On several occasions, I have been told that I need to "share that", "speak up", "write that down", and my favorite..."you need to start a blog".

I have never been the type of person to speak up or expect my view point to be a priority...so in many ways speaking my mind feels like I need to ask you to "pardon my french."

You know the origin of the phrase "pardon my french" is not completely clear but everyone knows that it is used to excuse profanity or cursing that could offended someone. Ferris Bueller used the phrase on a couple of occassion in my all time favorite movie - Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Well, I don't want to offend you but I do hope to challenge your perspective on life, faith, and ministry from time to time. This Mr. Nice Guy has things to say...so from time to time...pardon my french!
