Long Overdue?

So I start...not start thinking, growing, and changing, but start writing my thoughts, growths and changes in concise, catchy, and hopefully not too confusing ways...for the world to read! Or at least my wife, a few friends, and my mom :)
So what do I mean? Why do I define the virtual extension of my heart, my very identity (aka-"my blog") as I do? Embrace the tension. To invite, to not fear, to never back down, explain it away, wimp out, or compromise- that's what I mean by "embrace."
But tension? As an "already, but not yet, resurrected, fallen mann" I face tension everyday. I face theological tension when the infinite God communicates and my finite mind struggles to comprehend. I face emotional tension when the melodies of my heart are far more majestic than the whispers of my life. I face social tension when the way things are pales in comparison with they way things ought to be- politically, spiritually, economically, socially, etc.
As the switchfoot song states-
"Welcome to the fallout, welcome to resistance
The tension is here, the tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be..."

So 'the tension is here'- and to be the man God wants me to be, I refuse to ignore it.
