Hi, everyone.
My name's Brian. I'm 35, married, have a 3-year-old son, and live in the Dallas area.
I'm a small business owner and a writer.
I grew up Christian, God dropped my shame (born again) when I was 16, and I've studied the Bible and doctrines and church history, among many other subjects, since then.
I used to work with people who have Multiple Personality Disorder, helping them integrate their personalities, so I love studying human behavior and unraveling it, especially in relations to how God made us. I set out a long time ago to better understand the human heart and life in general. I've done my best to move toward humbleness and open-mindedness so that I can be open to learning anything God teaches me. What that means is that I simply cannot bring myself to make the claim that I know what's right or correct. I can only share what I know, and the reasons I've studied or experienced that brought me to those conclusions. To believe I'm right is arrogant and short-sighted and that's just not my nature any more. I have no desire to convince others they're wrong, either, because maybe they're right. How would I know? I'm not them, and I don't have their information set or their experiences. And besides, it's nearly impossible to convince someone else they're wrong when they are certain about what they believe, so I no longer see the point in wasting my time with it.
I have no interest in debate--only discussion. I like to share my experience and information, and I like to keep an eye out for what others are sharing that might be interesting to study.
Okay, I'll stop there.
