Little boxes

One thing I've avoided doing on my blog is mentioning denominations. It's something I'll probably continue doing, and here's why.

Twice this weekend (or is it more?) I've found myself categorized into a box when I mention denomination - either what I grew up with or where I currently serve. And the little boxes are usually a result of the impact one person from that denomination has had on the person who places you in the box. You could be completely different, but there you go, in the box with you! :)

I don't want to be boxed (even if Christmas is coming and my little box could be nicely decorated for the festive season). I just want to be me. I don't want to be judged and categorized by someone else's experiences. I want to be free to form impressions of who I am outside the box. So I'm going to remain denom-anon for the time being. Unboxed.
