Picking up has never been a favorite thing. Many activities have I enjoyed in my life, but when a mess has been made I do not rush to put things back in their place. For this reason I often procrastinate, and many times I do not complete a project I have started; for fear of picking up.

Several months ago I had a blog. In it I developed my fledgling interest in Reformed Theology. I allowed it to be overrun by foolish questions calculated to engender strife. The type of debate I was allowing became one-sided and meaningless, hurtful to the participants and contributors to the site. I came to suspect that my detractors were family members, who came to the table with a set of presuppositions and no desire to hear of my position. For fear of causing a rift in the family (rather deepening the rift that had been created by my coming to the Doctrines of Grace) I resolved to shut down my blog.

Now I propose to begin again, to pick up where I left off. This will give me an opportunity to develop my thoughts further, and hopefully generate some beneficial discussion/ debate in the blogging community. My desire is that all that is said and done within this forum will be to the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

By His Grace,

Tim
