Wishing I had more time to post – but since I don’t, here’s some recommended reading in the meantime from my friend, Will Grady, who blogs at Ramblings from Red Rose, who writes about Jesus’ admonition not to throw our pearls before swine:
There is a sense in which who I am is not simply put out there for everyone to judge. Again this doesn’t mean keeping everything private: it means choosing carefully who I want my thoughts, feelings, past stories, etc., to be a part in helping me celebrate or heal, rather than risk just anyone trample over.
