That question was born out of purpose—of wanting to make this final stretch count. I felt a growing pull toward expressing the thoughts that fill my mind and heart. Thoughts about my faith. Thoughts about the experience of growing older. Thoughts about race—mine, and the race of people I love deeply. I feel compelled to write and I want the writing to do more than just say something. I wanted it to serve. Faith First… - [Joining the Conversation](https://intersections.life/joining-the-conversation/): I never thought I’d be creating a personal blog.

Everyone has something to say. Honestly, I’ve often felt like there were already too many voices for me to add mine to the mix. Too many opinions to sort through, just to find out what might be true or even just relevant. Sometimes it feels like shopping at a discount store, where you’ve got to rummage through piles of clutter to find that one treasure that… ## Pages - [Home3](https://intersections.life/home3/) - [Home2](https://intersections.life/home2/) - [Blog2](https://intersections.life/blog2/) - [Home Page Comment](https://intersections.life/home-page-comment/): Dear Friends and Family, I’ve decided to start a blog, and I’d love for you to check it out. My first post, called Joining the Conversaion, explains why I started a blog. I also wrote a piece called The Intersections of Life, which shares why I named the blog intersections.life instead of simply “Kevin Washington’s Blog.” Both are quick reads—about three minutes each. But what I’d really like your thoughts on is my first full series: a three-part reflection on the dangers of oversimplifying matters of faith. I know a heavy topic to start with, but it uses the situation… - [Password Reset](https://intersections.life/password-reset/) - [Account](https://intersections.life/account/) - [Logout](https://intersections.life/logout/) - [Members](https://intersections.life/members/) - [Register](https://intersections.life/register/) - [Login](https://intersections.life/login/) - [User](https://intersections.life/user/) - [About Me Old](https://intersections.life/about-me-old/): This is an example page.
