I resumed blogging today.  With so many thoughts swirling around about the pressing social issues discussed of late and the human behavior research I’m studying in school, I thought I’d start sharing my perspective online for the feedback of anyone who cares to read it and provide theirs.

If we haven’t talked in a few years, you might benefit from this preface: my social and political perspectives tend to range from conservative to liberal, but usually moderate.  We may differ, yet I would like to know your perspectives too.  I do believe in God.  I pray, I read the Bible,  and I do accept empowerment from the Holy Spirit.  You might read about those experiences.  I am a Christian, but I am an aspiring counselor and family therapist, so I tend to be a little more accepting of the messiness of humanity than Christians stereotypically are.  We agree on the big stuff, but my husband’s viewpoints are not always mine.  One marriage, two critical minds are much better (and much more fun) than one (and definitely better than none, but I won’t go there, yet).  I am a wife, sister, daughter, student, friend, and an in-law, a future counselor, a future mother, and many other things, but I am primarily a human with a range of human thoughts, feelings, and experiences.  I will share my humanity with you and I hope you get to know me primarily this way.  In return, I hope you will share your humanity with me, honestly and, if you dare, with the same vulnerability.
