Wisdom is employed with our words whether 'live and in person' or in our online relationships. I trust God to allow into my life the people HE wants there and even if I suffer from my Realness, God will use that, too.</p><p>Jesus' life was not about privacy, but of disclosure of Truth. I want my life to be a disclosure of Truth. I don't want to live a safe life. I want to live a real life with the Passion of Christ. I listen to my husband and always do what he says first unless it goes directly against what I know that Christ says. I will stand before God alone at the end of my life, so in order to live with a clear conscience, sometimes I must "hate my father and mother, husband and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and my own life also, so that I can be Christ's disciple." Luke 14:26</p>SuzanneWed, 16 May 2007 12:55:55 -0000http://www.djchuang.com/2007/privacy-in-a-blog-world/#comment-2186022<p>My wife and I were at a carnival with our family a couple years ago. Someone we didn't know approached us and said "Hi! We just looked at your vacation pictures this morning."</p><p>From that day forward, I removed my personal family info from my blog and I don't talk about when I travel, with very few exceptions. It's about helping my wife feel safe.</p>NoelWed, 16 May 2007 09:38:27 -0000
