This is my first blog entry. I decided to try entering my thoughts on an online journal. I guess my first entry should be on how I reached this decision. I saw in the latest (well a couple of weeks ago) contests letter a piece about blogging. I checked out the blogs portion of the site and I was impressed. So many people sharing the intimate details of their lifes. I want to do my part. This may not be the best blog entry, I know. But, I want to learn how to express myself better. I also want more people to get to know me on the site. Today I plan on watching college football and reading during the commercials with the mute button on :). I may check some more of my e-mails and read some more online stories and try and comment on them. I try reviewing everything i read. I admit sometimes I read something and dont review it. Other times I am afraid I write a pretty crappy review. But noone has commented so far. Well I will go for now. |
I posted an entry on a church member's facebook page. This man was praising a youth service and talking about the need to get to know the youth in the church, their hopes, dreams, etc. I replied, in truth, that the middle aged members of the community are ignored that nobody pays any attention to their hopes, dreams, etc. As of yet he has not responded to me. The youth pastor responded with a generic comment about how my contribution to the service is valuable, etc but never spoke to me specifically about my issue. He also talked about how the Holy Spirit is moving in the Church. Question: if a church member's needs are completely ignored when specifically expressed is the Spirit really moving? I doubt it. Something is moving in my church but I do not think it is the Holy Spirit. |
