blogging

What is the point of it? If no one is reading, then why write? I only blog to communicate. I intend for this blog to be a source of learning for a community of faith. If its not being read, I might as well stop writing.
I was asked to comment about blogging to a news reporter doing a story on pastors who blog. I was the youngest one, surprisingly. But none of the others are intentional about the purpose for their blog. I hope to include more content and material on the blog in the months ahead.

Praying for Peace

It all started with the news of the escalating Israeli/Lebanon conflict. It seems that the violent are insatiable on both sides. Who is trustworthy? Militant Terrorists who choose to kill innocent people? Or a sovereign nation, who in the name of defense, bombs a neighboring nation, killing innocent people? Either way the innocent suffer and die. This war will continue as long as the parties involved choose to breed hatred toward one another and foment that hatred with acts of violent aggression.
Anyway, I have decided to do something. For a start, we are praying for peace every Monday at noon. I am also contacting government officials to solicit a more non-violent response. But what can we do, but feel powerless? So we pray for peace.
