Hello all,
My name is Mark Main. A little background about me might help you understand the things I write a little more. Then again if you begin to understand my way of thinking it might make you just as crazy as me. I won’t mind though. Just like misery, crazy enjoys the company.

I have been married to my wonderful wife Melissa for 15 years. We have two great daughters. I work in a factory that makes spaghetti sauce.
I call myself a Jesus follower. I have some problems with the term Christian. If you read very many of the upcoming entries on this blog my reasons for that will become evident. What I have no problem with is my love for and desire to live for Jesus.

As you read the things I have to say on this blog you may find yourself thinking that I am really messed up. I’m OK with that. I’d probably agree with you. The only thing you will never find messed up about me is my hair. That isn’t really bragging though, seeing as I don’t have any.

So, what could an admittedly messed up, bald Jesus follower have to say that would have any significance or relevance? I don’t know if I can answer that question. I just gotta believe there are other people out there with some of the same questions and struggles as me. If nothing else maybe someone will find some relief to know they aren’t alone. If I am messed up I obviously don’t have all the answers. Truth be told, I probably have very few of the answers. On the other hand I have lots and lots of questions. I actually view that as a positive thing.

I find questions to be refreshing. I find doubt to be honest. I find insecurity to be great motivation to lean on God and not our own understanding. I find blind adherence to dogma and doctrine to be frightening. The moment we stop looking to change we have stopped looking to God.

It is my hope along the way that I will make you think about things you have never considered before. I hope I make you rethink things you thought you already knew. The goal is not to change any particular belief. It is simply to challenge them. It is only by continually challenging our beliefs that we can avoid the arrogance that comes from becoming complacent in them.

God Bless!
