A Bit About This Blog


This entry has been revised since first written; It was last revised on 23-Apr-09.

May this blog inspire you.
May it make you love more passionately,
Feel more spiritually,
Think more wholistically,
And be more connected with the Light.

The writing here is semi-anonymous, and that is for your benefit:
You can imagine the writer might be female, or male, old, or young, dreadlocked, bald, sporting a perm or cute bangs, tall, short, dumpy, thin, of whatever race you like.
Cast the writer in your own guise, or in the guise you like.
This identity exists to affirm, encourage and grow YOU.

But if you need to learn more about me, there is at least one post that identifies me clearly, and it is not a secret. If you look for it, you will find it. So you can choose to find out if you must. Many people in my life know of my work here, and visit this blog.

The theology here is not intended to be consistent. Instead it is intended to help point the way towards, or illustrate spiritual truth as we encounter it in this world, as best I can make it do so. And sometimes, sometimes it will be just me, expressing my struggle.

Posts will be relatively short, just enough to savor, enough to contemplate - because you are busy, and because life is short... ...you don't have time to download the unabridged guide to joy, instead you need a signpost, a suggestion, a hint. After all, God is whispering in your ear every day...you just need some reinforcement... -and the occasional reminder to listen.

All posts are subject to revision, although mostly I don't have time to do such things.

Links are provided to web-sites I have found inspirational. I will change them on occasion, and will generally note those changes. Feel free to forward me link suggestions.

Feel free to comment on what is posted here, or to add your own, unrelated stories or thoughts. Please be polite. Impolite or cruel posts don't belong here and will be removed, as will posts only intended to advertise. Welcoming, inclusive and inspirational posts do belong and will be preserved.

Feel free to use what is here if it inspires you, just cite this blog as your source, and provide a link to the entry, if possible.

May God bless you, walk with you, inspire you, and energize your spirit.

-Locust Eater
