Greetings! Let me tell you, I could not decide on what the purpose of this blog would be. Goodness knows, there are so many blogs out there. Why do I need to join all those fish in the big pond? What do I have to say that will make any sort of difference in this world? I’m not a biblical scholar or a theologian and I didn’t go to seminary. I’m not even a college grad. What I have is a love for Jesus and an insatiable desire to go ever deeper in my relationship with God. And a hunger for Real Truth. This passion fuels what has been, and continues to be, an interesting journey on the road towards that goal. I keep it simple - Love God with all your heart, your soul, your mind, and your strength. And love all people as you love yourself.

(Just click on “Index” on the black strip in the middle of the page and scroll down to the article entitled “Walking the Fine Line” and read. Go ahead, I’ll wait.)
Challenging isn’t it? After reading this article, I decided the purpose of this blog is to chronicle, in a way, my journey towards the crossing of the 3rd line. That would be a crossing that I would not take lightly. I want to be true to myself and to my Lord. And this is not a journey where you can just turn around and go back. If you want to become the best lover that God can mold you into, you have to go all the way. No compromise. Dive in and keep swimming. Put your Reeboks on and start running. And don’t look back.
I am always being inspired by something during the week. Some of these discoveries can be challenging to me and to others as well. As I share these little signposts I would love to get feedback from fellow sojourners. It is my hope that you would all keep me accountable on this journey. Perhaps along the way you might be inspired to start (or restart) your own journey. We could call these “Travelblogues”.
God bless!

Whooo Hoooo! I'm your first commenter! I really liked the article. I was having similar thoughts just moments before reading it.
I was in awe at how God is working in Baby M's transition. I had been telling everyone (and myself) that I was trusting God with the situation, but when I witnessed his spirit at work, I was like, "Wow!"...does that mean I wasn't trusting him at all?
I am excited to walk this journey with you, but I have to admit that the "3rd line" scares the crap out of me. I would like to believe that that's the kind of relationship I desire with God, but I can't honestly say that I am willing to give up EVERYTHING to have it...I think I need to talk to God about that.
Waiting for the next signpost...

Dan,
I really liked the article and it got me thinking. Do we ever really arrived to the third line. I often find that once one area in my life is in line with God's will I get smacked by to line 1 or 2 to deal with something else.
