Some of you may have visited a few of the "Blogs I Read" (links at the right). I can't always recommend Wade Burleson's blog. Despite what I am willing to assume are Wade's best efforts to be gracious while still challenging and confronting serious issues in the SBC, the comment streams after his posts are not always as gracious. In fact, they sometimes derail into mean-spirited, abrasive, and divisive conversations.
But I thought I would point you all in his direction today. I'm all about my kids having fun dressing up as Buzz Lightyear or dancing skeletons. I should be even more about reforming my life.
Introduction
Welcome to “Nothing New.” The goal of my blog in the past has been to stimulate discussion about all things related to CBC, the Christian life, and the world at large. But it has recently been hijacked by my cancer and treatment. This means I have to eat some crow (which I hate) because early on I boldly claimed I would not allow my condition to take center stage in my life.
But it is taking center stage on my blog – for a while. I am rather torn about this development. I am uncomfortable making this all about me – because it’s not. It is strangely therapeutic for me to blog about this, however, and I cannot express even a fraction of my appreciation for everyone who reads and leaves their funny, weird, and /or encouraging words in comments and emails.
So please join with me in dialogue. I always look forward to reading your comments. (If you'd like to follow my cancer journey from day 1, please go to my post on 6/25/08 - Life Takes Guts - in the archives and follow the posts upwards from there.)

Dancing skeletons? What, is this 1942?
Buzz Lightyear? That was so 1995.
Those poor boys...
