Newspaper article

My blog was featured in the local newspaper today. It was an honor to be in the paper yet I have some frustrations too. I feel in some ways that my blog was misrepresented. The reporter called the church office and asked if anyone there had a blog. I told her that I did. She told me that the article was on using blogs as an evangelistic tool. Mine is definitely not for that purpose and I informed her of that. I am a Christian. If I do have spiritual matters on my mind or in my heart I will write about them. I am open and honest, as I stated in the article, and have no problems with sharing things that are going on with me.

I also have problems because the church where I work was mentioned and she never asked me if that was ok or informed me that she was going to do that. She also said that I was a member of the church, which is untrue. There is a policy in which office staff cannot be members of the church in fact. I guess this is the problem with the press. Articles are written by fallible people. I presume we can't always trust what we read. I just hope that my employers will not feel that I misrepresented them in any way.
