Consider this a brief introduction.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking in the last few months
about this trip around the world. It’s
kind of hard not to. It’s hard not to
think about how my life is going to be radically changed. 
How the foundations of what I think my faith
is are going to be rocked. And it
saddens me that I’m going to be experiencing this without all of my friends and
family from home.
So I bought a friend for $6.97.
I thought he was overpriced but I knew that the empire we
call “Wal-Mart” wouldn’t negotiate with the price.
I wanted to take something with me around the world anyway,
some sort of action figure that I could snap photos with and you all could
follow alongside my journey. I’m going
to assume that this particular character and me will be great friends by the
end of the year.
So, friends, let me introduce you to…
*insert drumroll*
Jesus.
That’s right. I
understand that this is probably somewhat blasphemous or sac religious (and I’m
ashamed for Wal-Mart’s sake that they even sell plastic versions of the
American Jesus), but there will be a point to this by the end of the year.
So if you’re offended, avoid the blogs that say, “Jesus’
Journey”. If you’re not offended, get
ready…
