Just in case I gave you the wrong idea

I only write in this blog about what I've come to see as definite. It's Kevin-Brand Theology, which is generic at best, and most stores don't even carry it in stock.

I have a tag for short little posts like this, "Kevin on Kevin's ideas," not because I think I'm just that darn important, and can't get enough of talking about myself. Rather, I have that tag and I write these quick little entries to give you the sense that

I don't think I know everything.

It may seem like I do, given how certain of a tone I can take in these blogs. But I want you to know that:

a) I only write about things that I'm fairly certain on, so you don't get to hear all the things that would make me shrug my shoulders like a sad bear and say " wwwww . . . idunno." Those would undoubtedly give you a better perspective on what I think of myself, but there's really no point in posting them-- I can't stand Christians who stir up a bunch of muck with high-minded questions and then sit back smugly and watch people scratch their heads, all the while pretending to be very modest by claiming no answers (and the blogosphere is full of these types).

b) I only write about those certain things after doing a lot of reading, head-scratching, annoying my wife with incessant questions, and so forth. And these blogs take me A LONG TIME to write-- several hours each, probably. So don't go thinking that this all just springs forth from my ivory towered head on a regular basis. There's a reason I only average two entries a month.

and

c) As far as this stuff being certain, you should know that I'm notorious for changing my mind. After all, you're reading the blog of an Evangelical/Pentecostal who became a Roman Catholic, which I'm sure indicates without saying that I done a lot of mind-changing.

The point is: am I certain? Right now I sure am. Will I always be? My record says otherwise. I may very well be embarrassed by reading this stuff someday.
