Today is the first day of probably a long journey.... Blogging.

What excites me is that I am finally going to have an avenue to express thoughts and feelings. Thanks to a special friend for point this out to me, and to that I credit her. She is a treasure and a dear friend, I never want to lose any connection with her... she is that special to me. I love you.
The Bible says, that we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works. Sometimes I balk at that thought because I do think I do all that well, or how I interpret what is around me. If I am to accept this as truth (assuming God is truth) then I must intpret and judge by another standard. That standard is the character of God and His word and the essence of faith. That is the sticky part, for me to walk by faith. I am not a faith guy, I am a logic guy, a reason guy, a "it must compute" guy. Fanaticism scares me, it find it revolting. Today I am low, and all because I don't see what I want but how can that be faith, if I see it? Others point things out to me but either my stubborness or my logic base or my error of belief, I miss the God place at this moment in my life.
Today I started a book at defining success. As a pastor, success in the church is far below what God would define success as. Then we are told that do steps A, B, C and D, that success is guaranteed. I am sorry, I don't see it.  Or maybe I am not a success. Maybe this is the ministry of my life, to define the pillars or foundation in the church. I rail against them, they are an abhorence in God's sight.
Well enough of that thought... today is the first day of a journey, a wonderful journey of sharing..

Godspeed
