I do&#8230;sometimes all in one thought. And the great thing is that the internet\u00a0provides me a place to post all these random musings\u00a0for the whole world can see&#8230;or at least those who read the blog. And better yet, after reading what was probably better left unsaid, you can write comments back telling me how crazy I am, or telling me that you had similar thoughts the other day.<\/p>\n<p>For example, recently <a href=\"https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/the-heretic-in-me\/\" title=\"The Heretic in Me\">I have been labeled a &#8220;heretic.&#8221;<\/a> I am trying to decide whether that is a good thing or a bad thing. As my friend Rene Lopez says, &#8220;Love me or hate me&#8230;just don&#8217;t ignore me.&#8221;\u00a0This blog is where I could post what is going on, and interact with you on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Also, my wife and I are seriously considering doing a church plant. I have some crazy ideas about church that might get me labeled as a heretic again.\u00a0I don&#8217;t want to be heretic (who does?), and so am thinking about posting some of my ideas about church that come to me at 3 am (along with the monkeys), and let you weigh in on the subject.<\/p>\n<p>So, keep checking back! It&#8217;s going to be quite a ride.<\/p>\n<p>[2015 Note: I had no idea how big of a ride it would be! Looking back now, I sort of feel bad for the guy who wrote this post. He had no idea what was about to happen to him. &#8230; And in case you are wondering, this is no longer the TILL HE COMES blog, but is now the Redeeming God blog. <a href=\"https:\/\/redeeminggod.com\/about\/\" title=\"About Jeremy Myers and RedeemingGod.com\">Read more about the transition on the about page<\/a>.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My very first post on the Till He Comes Blog.
