"Fine" is a word that gets us through our days. It allows us to check our true emotions at the door...a mask we put on so we don't have to give of our innermost to others. This blog was created because we are choosing to battle with fear, sadness, indicison, regret...choosing to share in hopefulness, joy, peace....we are choosing to live on "The Other Side of Fine."
Bare Feet Welcome
We have a rule in our home. Take your shoes off at the door. Although ONE of us always forgets! It's at home where you take your shoes off and feel the most comfortable. So, welcome to our blog. Relax, know that you have company with us. This is a place where voices are heard, but not always agreed with. A place where our struggles, joys, thoughts, and ideas are shared.
I'm conviced that we have hidden, most of our lives, behind the comforts of "fine." It's a place where the reality of who we are or what we feel safely nestles into the shadowed corners of a stale subsitite.
This is both a challenge to us and to you alike. Life cannot be lived in the confines of "fine". True and pure relationships can never develop if we can't share our deepest fears or greatest joys with those we are around. God never intended for us to experience a "fine" life. His Spirit enables us the deepest kind of every emotion. It's good for us to share each other in this way. It's necessary. It's the way He made us.
So, we are stepping out of that shadowed corner. We are attempting to let our thoughts and feeling define us. We are rejecting the notion that "fine" is an okay thing to be. We are wanting to live on "the other side of fine."
