The birth of Wait… Come Back

Posted on August 22, 2002

Christening a new blog is a mixed-emotions kinda thing. On one hand I’m excited because I haven’t blogged since I decided to take Rocketdiary‘s blog out of service and turn it into my portfolio site (which may change in the future), but on the other hand I’m nervous. Nervous about turning it into another self-absorbed, insignificant thing that I come across every so often, and that I nearly created with Rocketdiary.

Wait..Come Back is going to be more focused – I think. I want my posts to be reflections on what I’m reading and my thoughts on faith, religion, spirituality, and maybe if I really can’t avoid it, my passion for web development…

Why the name? Well, my recent reading (Finding Faith by Brian McLaren) has made me realize that many Christians who are trying to “evangelize” end up driving people away rather than leading them in finding faith, and find themselves saying “Wait… Come Back!” At least, that’s a picture I got in my head not too long ago. Just a reminder – to myself, at least – that the goal of talking to people about faith is to show them you’re a safe, open person with whom to discuss matters of eternal worth. Or something like that.

I intend to publish at least once a week, and perhaps if the muse strikes me, more often than that.

Until next time – may you find your own faith…
