Love Letters

"Love letters always get to their destination. Love letters always get to the person they are addressed to. Because, in a sense, love letters are addressed to the one who is writing them. That's why we often write love letters that we don't even send. Because sometime they come from us and they're there to work through our feelings, to work through our emotions. And actually, it's not really for the other person at all. They're kinda reading it and overhearing a conversation we are having with ourselves."-Peter Rollins

In many respects, a blog always reaches its destination as well. Because the one who is writing it is the one who needs to read it. I'm not writing to you, but I'm writing to myself. And I need to take heed of what I'm saying. 

What are your love letters that you are writing or maybe speaking to yourself?

I need to be honest with you all...what I've written and what I will write on this blog is very difficult, and I'm sorry for that. As Peter Rollins says, "I hope that you disagree with me, because that would make it easier. If you agree with me, that's much more difficult".

Will you do what is difficult today? Will you join us and take action now? Or will you disagree and do what is easy? Will you watch as others take the risk and stand up for what they believe in? It's really easy to watch and miss out. 

I encourage you to take the difficult road. And it is difficult, but the people on the road beside you...man, are they great. There is encouraging, wise, and (my favorite) really fun people who believe in something greater than themselves. These people make the difficult road, a joyous road. 

So maybe it is not the choice between the easy or the difficult road, but the easy or the joyous road.
