disCOVER

The word discover goes back to Latin dis- and cooperire, meaning 'to remove the covering; completely uncover.' By 1553, it was used to mean 'seeing or gaining knowledge of something previously unknown' and 'finding out; bringing to light.' You invent something that has never existed before, but you discover ('uncover') something that is already there, something that has existed but is generally unknown.


Thoughts posted here are my discovery moments. They are life attachments which I have uncovered while swimming in the Scriptures, the Holy Bible.

If you find value here it's not because I'm a guru (because I'm not). I do not invent truth. I simply discover it. It has existed before me, and it will exist after me. Even the discovery is not my own. I am led to it by a God who is crazy about people living transformed lives and transformed relationships. And He's interested enough in me to show me truth, just as He does anyone, who cares to read His autobiography.

I've found that God isn't really all too keen about holding truth from people. He actually gets pretty excited when we search after wisdom. Again, if you find value in this blog it is due to the truth I've discovered, and not the truth which I have invented.

You may catch bits and pieces of who I am as I blog, but I'm really not into talking about me as much as how the truth impacts me (and you). I'm also not interested in trying to prove points or debate.

Posts will likely be sporadic. I have a healthy fear of living in front of a computer screen. One thing I have discovered is that people are much more valuable when you can see their eyes and touch their hearts than when you peer at them through a Cat5. So with all due respect to those of you who lurk and surf like there's no tomorrow, read my blog and then give it a rest. Go love some flesh and blood people before your eyes rot out and you forget how to interact in a social environment.

There are times when you should probably laugh at me instead of getting offended.

Welcome to disCOVER-truth.
