Not an introduction

I hate intoductions. I don't want this to sound like an indtroduction.. It's not really.  it just happens to be the first real post. but its not even the first post. i made the first one months ago and then abandoned the idea of takeing up blogging again. But, it always circles around on me that I want to get my ideas out of my head and the only way to do that is to write them. I could just take up writing in a journal but then where would I be? I would be a lonely man writing in his journal, spouting out all of the things that go through his head for the benefit of no one. in addition the idea that someone is reading this helps me to keep my mind focused because I want to avoid making a fool of myself or rambling on. that, and i have a misplaced sense of importance.  to go a little off subject i wanted to draw your attention to how one word could be interperated completly wrong when spell check is used. when I said before " i have a misplaced sense of importance" i may or may not have spelled importance correctly but from time to time spell check decideds that "importance" should acctually read "impotance" which means something completly different.  no im not saying that the inventor of spell check was wrong to think that his product might be usefull to some people. but i myself will not use it because it could lead you astray when reading something that i have written. so there's that.
i dont want to sound like a broken record but this is not an intro. it's not. however i want to put out that the post that will follow this one (that just happens to be the first one) will likely be of a different nature than this one. i like to take an idea and then turn it inside out to find the holes. i dont always mean the things that i say and i often dont know what im driving at. its more like a biopsy where we dig a hole into eomthing to pull out the insides and examine then, only to find that what we suspected was the case is in fact true. i used to say this all the time but it bears repeating if you plan to continue reading my blog posts; "If at any point you think that you understand what im saying, you completly missed the point."

Faith in fear

The problem with faith, faith is terribly hard to discern from fear, I for example, have always been one to say that I have faith in God, (not really so much in religion, just God), now here is the thing, I do a lot of things (or don't do them) because I am afraid of the consequences of doing otherwise. Fear is a useful tool but not really a good motivator. is it really any wonder that I have always had trouble with faith? Whatever is the truth I'm sure that it will make it's self known through some way unforseen, in a timescale that I don't have enough patience for, and when least convenient of course, as usual.
