Expression
So, Asians are accused of being indirect... Here I try (with possibly very poor results) to break that stereotype for the glory of God and the edification of the Body of Christ. (Note: this reflects not only my experiences as an Asian-American but the rest of my life as well; they are inseparable.)

purpose
The creation of this blog is really a product of my feeling overwhelmed by issues that I feel unable or hesitant to express in conversation. This blog will be dedicated to racial issues. Some things will just be personal struggles that I face as I seek to find what it means to be an Asian-American Christian, and other things will be more relevant to Christians in general as (hopefully) we are seeking to be one in Christ, the Head of the Body.
Oftentimes, I see minorities pointing out racial barriers and calling other people to break them down. At the same time, however, I find myself hiding behind these barriers instead of doing my part in tearing them down. So, we want to be understood, we want people to meet us where we're at? I'll admit I haven't made that easy, so here's my attempt at changing that.
EDIT (05.29.06): Since nearly two and a half years have passed since I created this blog, I see my purpose as rather idealistic. Quite frankly, I'm not sure I am really attempting to accomplish anything anymore through this blog besides giving voice to my own struggles and hopefully at times stumbling across some bit of truth in the midst of chaos. So, welcome to my journey of finding what it means to be an Asian-American Christian; these are reflections on my life and my experiences, and my hope is that in they will shed light on larger issues in a way that somehow fosters growth and healing.
