I write out of a need to communicate. Definitely not out of a need to rationalize away actions taken, or make myself likeable, or re-write the truth. I believe we're connected, and that I can learn from someone as easily as they can learn from reading my blog. I can be wrong (and frequently am some would say). But I am willing to challenge myself. I worry not a whit about what anyone reading this might think. That's on you. My part is to get it right. And I realize that truth is relative. There's your truth, my truth, and the truth. I'm okay with my part in that equation. I'm a big boy, I can take my lumps.
I named this blog after Martin Luther. Not Martin Luther King Jr. -- although I admire each man. But Martin Luther, the 16th century German cleric who posted some complaints (95 theses, nepostism, indulgences, the moral weakness of the Church) about the Catholic Church to a church door and effectively shattered religious unity in Europe. I'm always admired personal bravery.Think of it. All of Europe catholic, effectively no other religion practiced, and this cleric wakes up one morning and goes...."ok...today's the day".....and effectively ends religious unity in Europe. For a personal belief. Who says one man doesn't matter. Not me. So NotesTackedToAWall kinda draws inspiration from, and honors that.
Deal with it.
