(and no, I didn't accidentally hit the keypad an extra time)

I've poured a lot of energy into Godtube, and I'm not always sure where it's going... but when I check back every day or so, my videos have been watched about 50 more times... it's crazy.

The attention hasn't been completely positive for me, but the good experiences have definitely outweighed the less-good.

My proudest accomplishment, so far, is the opportunity to meet 2 guys that I've been corresponding with for about a month.

Their names are Sam and Jim, and I don't think they know each other.
  • Sam is a little older than me, and even though he really struggles with some of the same questions that I do (really struggles), he's come out on the other side - he considers himself a Christian still, and I respect that.
  • And Jim is an Author and counselor in his 40's, and he and I talk about lots of things. Jim is very comfortable with not knowing the answers to all my questions, and he's also comfortable with me not really knowing the answers to his. I really appreciate that.
More than anything, though, I just really enjoy talking to Sam and Jim. They don't respond harshly when I ask difficult questions, and the slim chance that I'll ever see them in "real life" makes me comfortable enough to ask those questions.

My time on Godtube has definitely been interesting, and I don't intend to end it any time soon. I might create a blog to discuss this sort of thing, because a smaller group is better for discussing intimate things.
