Hey All,
Well, it appears that my boss was right that it isn’t a good thing to mix personal blogging with company business. Why? Hey, don’t preach to me, I know about all the benefits of corporate blogging and I agree with them. I guess there are just some subjects that can kick your ass if you aren’t more disciplined than I am. So, here’s one case in point…

My friend and colleague, Casey Chesnut recently posted this. You know, for 99% of it, I have to agree with him. However, he’s missing the 1% point that matters the most. It’s nothing against him, many of us tend to fall into this camp from time to time and from age to age. I’m thankful I’ve moved past this stage and I feel compelled to run a little test here. The test? I want to see how long it is before Casey sees my post and responds. Of course, I tried to post on his blog, but my comments were limited to 333 words. Interesting choice, all things considered. Especially for any of you who remember Green Jelly as a band. For those that don’t, no worries – just know it was relevant to this post.
So, Casey went on with some great points about the ridiculous nature of the pseudo-Christian society placing it’s own emphasis on textbooks – stating that evolution was only a theory. Hey, mainstream, or at least intelligent Christians have moved beyond that level since the Scopes trials. C’mon, give people a bit more credit than that!
So, I have to go forward and say that as ridiculous as censoring textbooks – or at least putting a religious preface in front of them – is FAR outside the scope of what I, as a Christian, believe is right. There are simply so many different theories and so many ways to approach life – all of which are part of the overall plan. And that’s really the point, when it comes down to it. The Plan.
We all fit into it – regardless of what you believe or evangelize, or even realize. It’s the plan that put you here, that keeps you here, and that will take you from here when you leave. I don’t profess to understand or know your plan. I don’t. I’m too busy trying to figure out my own. Can it be learned from Christianity? Maybe – for some people. Buddhism? Same thing – maybe for some. Muslim? Sure, for some. [Insert whatever religion or scientific theory here]? Sure, for some. That’s the beauty of the plan! Don’t you see it? How cool is that, that whatever is whatever, and that’s cool. I’m personally pretty cool with that whole concept.
