I started a women's retreat a few years back with the statement, "Welcome! I love doing women's retreats because it's the one place we can all be honest and admit that we are all train wrecks." One of the women took great offense and said she never considered herself a train wreck. By the end of the retreat, 3 days later, she took me aside and thanked me for the gut wrenching honesty of the weekend. And for helping her realize that she was just like the rest of us...a train wreck indeed...and now she knew how to start getting herself back on the tracks.

So…blogging. I had to Google it…What is blogging anyway? Why blog? Who blogs? Where do you blog? When do you blog? The answer kept coming up “Passion.” Ha! My passion! Wait…I have to pick one passion? For those of you who know me, I don’t “pick one” of anything. I am a person of many. Many passions, many interests, many experiences, many adventures…many stories. Ahhhhh my stories. Now THERE is a passion that I can hang on to. Stories of life. Stories of healing. Stories of lessons learned along the way. The passionate thread that weaves those stories together is truth. Just be honest. How many times have I said that…to myself as well as to others? I hope to take you to places through this blog where you never thought you’d see yourself going. That’s how I preach…delving into a sacred text in a very different way than most theologians traditionally look at it.

Peace,

Pam
