The Misfit
I have a confession to make. I'm a misfit. I started this column with the title THE HUMBLE SERVANT and wrote a couple of posts. Then I reread them and found they were boring. Not only that, I couldn't use The Humble Servant as my domain name because--would you believe it--there are more than 1,200,000 persons on the Web using that domain name! So much for originality. So I had to find a new title and a more interesting blog.
I truly felt that first effort was heaven-sent. Have you ever had that happen, that you think God is directing you in a certain way and it just goes nowhere? Do you think that He believes in blind alleys? A few days later I knew what His answer was for me because He sent me in a new direction, and Walking Religiously was born. Writing with humor is so much more fun!!! However, part of me is still stuck in that Humble Servant role. So if I appear lopsided in my columns now and then, you'll know why. The Servant part is the preacher, the religious walker is forever poking humor at all sorts of things here and there. I don't know which I like better. They're both part of me, so I guess I'm stuck with being a misfit. I'm thinking, maybe God was telling us all that we need both--some serious religion blended with lots of humor to live sanely in this often crazy world.
