What is a wayfarer? A wayfarer is a traveler, especially one on foot. I am a traveler on a journey. This blog is a specific journey. I will be writing every day for at least 365 days about things of a spiritual nature. I hope that I am traveling towards the heart of Christ, that is the goal.
My history is chalked with things of a religious nature. I have an undergraduate degree in Religion. I have been a Master of Divinity student. I have even served as a Pastor. However, in the midst of life and struggles I lost what it truly means to love God. Unfortunately, my descent away from Christ started while I was serving a church. Religion and falsely pious parishioners and STAFF left me with a bad taste in my mouth. My skeptical nature began to roar. I walked away. Last fall I swore off institutional religion, but God knows better... I was invited to a nondenominational church. I went. The journey back to Christ was under way.
This is, of course, completely over simplified. There have been many fights with in myself and with others about all of this. There have been many conversations with my therapist and with my friends. Crying has become a normal part of every worship service. I know very little for certain, but I know this Christ has pursued me so I will pursue him.
