Two years ago when I had a sabbatical from my position as Youth Pastor at Hesston MB Church, I decided to blog. Not indefinitely, mind you. Just over the 3 months I would be away from my position and my "family" at the church. Decided it was a good way to be responsible for the time I was being given away from my responsibilities without talking to everyone in the church throughout.
I called it "saBRADical" since I was literally in the middle of it. We all tend to see the world from our own point of view. I believe the challenge of life is not to be consumed with that view or the view that other's take for that matter.
Today I begin a second blog. We'll see where it goes and how long it "prospers". There are a variety of reasons, but I won't bore you with them.
I went with the title "Breaking Brad" because my guilty pleasure in life right now is the TV show on AMC called "Breaking Bad". The main character is a 50 year old man named Walter White. Walter is going through mid-life trying to figure out who he is and where he is going. Life hasn't turned out as he thought it would. Walter takes to making meth to provide for his medical expenses and his family. Then the "fun" begins.
No, this isn't a cry for help because I'm making drugs on the side. I do connect with the struggle to do right when I want so bad to do wrong, wanting to provide for all that my family needs (and wants), and learning to stand up for myself when a good portion of my life I let people walk on me.
And Walter shaved his head. I like that. Just wish I could grow facial hair.
One of the many things that I have grown to appreciate about you is your willingness to share you are not perfect. The struggle I have had and continue to have is how can God love me when I'm not sin free. Thank you for being One of Gods representatives.
