How to Read My Blog

Okay, Jeffrey.  You asked for it.  Here, in no uncertain terms is the Official Guide to Reading and Understanding Tim Morris' Blog.

Rule #1: Tim is snarky, not angry.  Often he will point out hypocrisy's and ironies, but it's only to get under the superficial layer, it's not to incite war.

Rule #2: Tim is funny, and he has a dry sense of humor.  Often the biggest misunderstandings people have of me is when I'm trying to make a joke.  If only you could see the twinkle in my eye.

Rule #3: Tim is never completely s e r i o u s or committed to an idea.  Although I like to be honestly considered, I will never "die for my beliefs."  Sometimes I'm just throwing an idea out there to see if I like how it sounds.  Try it.  It's helpful for growth.

Rule #4: Tim is deeply spiritual.  (that right there was a snarky comment against myself, btw)  I often get strong convictions related to religion and faith, but they are never about judging the non-believer or trying to get a stupid conservative bill passed in the White House-- I get convicted about whether or not I am living as Christ would: in love and in deep criticism of hypocritical Christians.

Rule #5.  Tim is blunt.  I have fought this as long as I care to, but the fact remains that I just kinda say things as I see them.  I don't try to embarass/harass people on purpose, but it often comes across that way.  I'm sorry.  If you call me out on this, I will apologize (and mean it!) but you should know that this is a problem that I have and I'm a little self-conscious of it.


Hope some of these rules help you as you suffer through my blog!
