We've all been robbed in broad daylight. Somebody stole our context; or did we freely give it up? We gave up context all so we could satisfy a 30-second attention span.


...But even that isn't the entire truth.


Conversation...communication isn't what it used to be. What used to be a forum -- a place of exchange, has been reduced to "the Joust" from American Gladiator (slight nod to my 80's - 90's babies).


We've lost the opportunity to pause and gather thoughts...


...because everyone knows if you can't accurately recite your thought in one breath, you're not credible.


Do people converse to understand anymore?

Did we ever?

I've never been one to put words in people's mouths.

I've never cared much for twisting another's perspective to please my own.


My curiosities have always been piqued by the real motivations behind what people say and do.


I'll be the first to admit that this world is confusing. There are personal events we all eventually face that cause us to double down and question areas we once held firm surety in.


Points like these prove the necessity of an anchor.


My anchor...


...the word of God.


Like I said, I've never been one to put words in people's mouths.

I've never cared much for twisting another's perspective to please my own.


So when I read the Bible, I use [fences] to identify what I believe the scripture implies.


I use [fences] to engage the world - "Here's what I saw when I read the scriptures, how about you?"


But, most importantly I use [fences] to separate my wondering from the definite.


I explore, I think in the [fences].


When I'm reading the Bible, I’m reading it to get to know the author better.

For that reason, I let Him inside of the [fences].

We talk, He explains, I learn.

Ever wondered why [Ghost Protocol] is inside the fences?


Cause He’s still got more to teach us.

Rinse and Repeat.
