Faith Crisis Response

I realized for the first time as I got online tonight that people are actually reading these posts and commenting. I guess I never checked before to see whether there were comments because this has always served as a thinking-through/confession in which my dear friend, perigrinatio, will always walk through with me. But as I read back through my Faith Crisis blog, I did immediately wish that I had written something in a different way to show what I was feeling. And as I read through comments, I felt that I wanted to clarify this even more.

I wrote at the end of my previous blog that I thought to myself, "What will this man even do with a $20 bill anyway?" I wrote that as an indictment against myself. The fact that I even thought that was what I felt I needed to confess. I do not believe it matters at all what he will spend it on, but only that if I felt compelled to give that I needed to give. That question should not have entered my mind....and that was what I needed to confess.
