Be Dia-What?

Be Diaphanous. Yes you are correct I did just go to the dictionary and pick out a cool word, but I chose it for a reason. Diaphanous is synonymous with translucent or transparent, which is something that is sometimes hard for Christians to be. Men have a history of being tough or having that selfish ambition get in the way, myself included. Followers of Christ are called to be transparent with their lives, exposing even the most touchy subjects with others in order to forward God's glory.

I recently attended a prayer/evangelism/discipleship conference called Life Impact in the town of Norman, OK, about a ten hour drive from my hometown of Scottsbluff, NE. It really challenged me in many ways, and convicted me in many others. Before this conference I was being the latent Christian, meaning I was praying little, having some fellowship, and discipling less. I will write later on what I have learned, and how I think those things I learned should be put into effect.

I started this blog with the realization that very few, if any at all, will be interested enough to read what I have on my mind. That's fine with me, this blog is mostly for my own mental and spiritual growth, for me to just write down my thoughts so idleness/not caring does not catch up with me.

Topics in which I wish to address include but are not limited to Discipleship, Apologetics, Scripture dissecting, and everyday events that affect my Christ walk. These first posts will probably consist of what I learned from Life Impact, and how I need to address said topics.
