Wh...Perhaps motives are a big piece of this puzzle. Why are we writing our stories? To tear down those who have hurt us? I have been tempted, am fighting this right now even. To encourage others who are struggling with the same thing? I think it's fair to acknowledge the bad and the hard and even the shameful in a gracious, non-finger-pointing way. But it won't make everyone happy, that's for sure. So then I guess we're left weighing our motives, other people's reactions, and what we believe God would have us do with our stories. <br /><br />I like that you're wrestling out loud with this. :) It helps me wrestle too.Joy @ Joy In This Journeyhttp://www.joyinthisjourney.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365190274894863555.post-87993455108296632522012-04-19T20:28:29.196-04:002012-04-19T20:28:29.196-04:00That's a tough line to walk...That's a tough line to walk...Jessica Heightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14687962237051192058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365190274894863555.post-69937556568072939152012-04-12T17:13:54.896-04:002012-04-12T17:13:54.896-04:00I know what you mean.

Some things are best left unsaid. <br /><br />But when it comes to individual personal stuff, I'm not sure airing dirty laundry applies in blogs. The implication is that people are forced to look at the laundry. But the Internet isn't like that. People can navigate away if they're uncomfortable. There are no captive watchers or listeners here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15832054100138437810noreply@blogger.com
