Thoughts From the Old World

Stop by my other blog This is my Father's world and check out the some of my travel musings. Right now there is a post that is part of a 3 part series comparing and contrasting America with Europe. Stop by and leave a comment. I would love some feed back!

New Blog!

Just wanted to let everybody know that I have started another blog, called "This is My Father's World". The purpose of this new blog is to provide a resource for believers who travel, especially missionaries as well as possibly providing some income for my own ministry (I get money for the advertisements in the right column). It is still in construction so if you have any suggestions please let me know. The posts there will mainly be personal reflections about travel and culture, links to interesting articles and helpful resources, and reviews of travel resources. I would love to have some guest writers as well so if you have any thoughts on any travels you have done recently let me know and we can put em up! This blog (Nevertheless) will still be focused on ministry reflections, and whatever else happens to pop into my slimy little brain.

Check out the new blog here: This is my Father's World

thanks!

Is anybody out there?

I need to know if anyone is reading this blog anymore. When I started this over two years ago, I stated my goal:

My goal in creating this blog is both to provide exposure and dialogue to a very dynamic and needed ministry as well as to share the lessons and adventures that the Lord brings my way. I don't know if it is such a good idea, but I will attempt to be open and honest in my writing. At times it will be offensive, confusing, vulgar, and desparate because let's be honest so is life (and coincidentaly the Bible). Yet just as I will share my tears with you, I promise to strive to share my joy with you as Christ shows His burning glory in my world. I pray above all that this blog points always to Christ and not to myself.

Easier said than done.

My goal remains the same. To sum up I hope this blog exposes readers to inner city ministry, excites readers about Christ, spurs believers on to thought and discussion, and edifies readers in their pursuit of knowing Christ and making Him known.

Really the only way I have of knowing if progress is being made towards these goals is from your feedback. Do you agree, not agree, need clarification, have imput on the topic posted on, think I'm a heretic, think I'm ugly, want to give money to our ministry...etc.

For those of you unfamiliar with how blogs work, let me introduce you to the COMMENTS section. At the end of every post, there is a section that will say: comments. The number of comments will precede it, so what it will probably look like for most posts is:

to comment click on the word comments.
a page will come up and you choose your identification (your blogger id if you have a blog, your name, or anonymous if you are scared I'm gonna hunt you down). type in your comment in the box and click "publish your comment". The comment gets sent to me so I can approve it. I do this to weed out spam and inappropriate content.

If you read this blog and it has been helpful for you, or you have ideas about how it could be helpful to you, please comment. It will be like giving me an electronic hug! or whack on the head! Both are welcome.

I know it takes time to read and comment on posts but it also takes time to write the posts and if nobody is reading/and or benefiting from them, I would be a better steward of my time doing other things.

through Christ
for Christ
