If you are one of those who have read this blog for a while, you will recognize that I tend to balance what I say as much as I am able. I prefer to be as thoughtful as I can and I do my best to show respect for others as I put things down for some few others to read. I realize my understanding is imperfect, so I try not allow my opinions to become fully entrenched - preferring to continue to improve my understanding so I can better represent myself and the things I choose to say something about. And I still feel like I fail at least as much as I succeed in my efforts - but I hope I am setting a high bar to leap over.
