I’ve played it fairly safe on my blog. I stick to topics that are invariably ”neat-o”, work-related (e.g. geeky & esoteric to all but a few), and a few vague spiritual toe-dippings. I really detest the heated ranting of much of the blogosphere, when it comes to politics and religion.
Yet, I’m finding… I have many thoughts and opinions that are ready to emerge from the chrysalis. I should probably journal, and keep it to myself; such would be the prudent thing. This is one lesson I’ve learned from Luis Palau, who has written many books and preached personally to millions, and has deftly avoided overt political controversy.
I haven’t learned that lesson yet. I’ve called this post a letter because I want to invoke the spirit of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, founding brothers who vehemently disagreed with each other on many topics - no small issue, the fate of the Republic - expressed in long letters back and forth over the years. Their friendships were rent and patched many times over, and were never severed completely. Their lifelong friendship defined America.
It is in that spirit that I write.
