Why the blog?

I write as the Spirit moves me. I have prayed about what I'm supposed to do with my life a lot. A lot. Writing. Writing is what I believe God is leading me to do. Whether or not He wants me to write for anyone to read is His business. Much of my writing has been therapy for me so maybe I'm the only one who is supposed to read it. So, why the Blog? As a sounding board, a note pad, a place to keep my ideas and thoughts. A place to share and promote my books, and photography. Written prayers, a place to vent. Possibly, even a place for the unknown reader to learn about the love of Jesus.

Walk across the room.

Over the last few weeks at my home congregation we have been discussing sharing our faith.  On Wednesdays individuals have shared their stories and on Sunday the topic has been "Walk across the room".  Walking across the room, simply stated, is acknowledging people.  I have been encouraged to do more, to share more.  But how? I work at home.  Most weeks I only leave my house to go to church or the grocery store.  How can I walk across the room? There is no one in my 'room' except my cat. 


For the last two Sundays my son, who is in S. Korea has virtually come to church with me via video chat.  I then realized that my 'walk across the room' was at my finger tips.  It was then that I decided to let my fingers do the walking.  I sat down and created several post cards to send out to whoever may need encouragement.  (I mailed 4 this morning).  I then e-mailed a study to someone who I care deeply for because they have decided to stop coming to fellowship.  I am posting it here for you.  I hope you will delve deep and share your answers:


1. What do you believe about Jesus?
2. Why do you believe it?
3. What does it mean to be a Christian?
4. What does God require of Christians?
5. What is the "church"?
6. What does God say about obedience? To Him? To elders? Parents? leaders?
7. What is grace? 


I pray that you will search the scriptures to find the answers.
