So anyways, i'm still kinda on my introductory kick, just explaining who I amwhich, I hope, will give you a little more insight into my thought process. (as weird as it will seem)

I was born in a Christian Home, well I was actually born in a hospital, but anyways, I was raised in a Christian Home. My Parents were (and still are) part of the Salvation Army. Yes, for all those people out there who don't know, the Salvation Army is a Christian church, just like the Baptists, Anglicans etc.

Salvation Army was born out of the Methodist Movement, and its initial Focus was Social Justice, looking out for the Poor and Marginalized. While its focus may have shifted over time, it still is deeply ingrained with Social Justice.

So everyone mostly knows (in Australia atleast) that the Salvation Army is a welfare organisation but most people never asked why. Well it is because we are originally a Church, a Christian Church, and because of that we are called to be like Jesus (or Jebus for all you Simpsons fans out there) and Jesus helped the poor and marginalized, hence why we do.

So what i'm trying to explain, is who i am. I'm a christian, i'm trying to be like the only perfect person to ever walk this planet, (thats Jesus if u didn't know) and the key word in that sentance is trying. Just because I'm a christian doesn't mean I'm perfect and I don't expect everyone else to be, but I'm trying to do my best, so give me some slack, as i will give it back.

So if I do go all religious on you, now and again, that is why.

Why is such a great word isn't it!

I am not a blogger. But I am a Christian. Reading the second entry of your introduction to who you are clearly indicated what a big part of your life Jesus is. And I think that's special.
