Naked and Unashamed

When Adam and Eve were in the garden before the Fall, Genesis mentions that they were "naked and not ashamed."  I have named this blog after that amazing reference because I believe this is what all of mankind truly longs for: to be completely known and yet having no fear or shame at that knowing. I would argue that nearly every dysfunction, nearly every sin, every addiction, comes about when we either try to gain this state in ways that do not work or we go for one of the two states (either nakedness or shamelessness) but not the other. Such a person lives an unbalanced life and they will suffer dysfunction.

On this side of eternity this quest may be impossible, but the day will come when all things will be known and shame will be thrown into the fire.

With this blog I hope to become more naked while striving to be rid of all shame.
