A while back, I started being more authentic on the blog, and joined Joy, a writer I’ve come to know and respect, in sharing about life: unmasked, in which I share some of my struggles, questions, and failures.

I don’t even know how to intro this, so I’ll just get to it. My heart has been heavy for a couple weeks now about all of the blog posts and articles surrounding Sovereign Grace Ministries. These articles have definitely been going on longer than a few weeks, but I’ve been out of the blog world for a while.

I’ll confess, this is going to be a bit of a rant. But I feel it’s a rant worth conveying, because at its core is seeing Biblical truth confessed, but not practiced. In course of conversation, a friend of mine, though we’ve not met in person as of yet, mentioned some things to me about her experiences in the blogging world, and they have left me more than annoyed.
