meditatio at the water's edge

Blogging... what a strange word! Last night I was reading Jason Evans blog - Jason has become a friend over the past month as we connnected at Seed Stories and Search Party - and I found myself loving his blog from Friday.

He wrote "...we need to redefine what it means to be a Christian. Personally, I have a real hard time with that word. I don't like calling myself a Christian many times. Not because I'm ashamed of my faith, I'm not, but because of the people I feel I don't share the same spirituality with that use that term. Like people that could stand at a young, gay man's funeral with a "God Hates Fags" sign, or the person that punches out a Muslim in "the name of Christianity and the American way." Why I would I want to be clustered with people that are known more for their hate than love? I'M A FOLLOWER OF JESUS CHRIST, but I don't know if I want to be a Christian anymore."
