| Return of the Prodigal Son |
Today I launch out for the first time into the blog world. I do so with some trepidation realizing that this forum is an opportunity for transparency which exposes me to the scrutiny, critique, feedback, affirmation, correction, reproof, correction and blessing of those who post here. I respectully request that your comments be well considered, constructive and seasoned with grace with a view to edify one another as we travel together in our life long pilgrimage as intentional students and followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.
One of my hopes is that through blog conversations I can fulfill a hard-wired urge to say something meaningful that will require me to think Biblically while engaging my posters in a real time thinking aloud about our Christian experiences and provide mutual stimulation to love and good deeds. I am not looking for agreement in any particular area but do desire exchanges which are good faith contributions to the adventure of growing in grace in this limited "cyber-community."
I was originally encouraged to consider blogging by my sweetheart and helpmate of 35 years, Frances Jo. She knows me better than any human being living on planet earth. For years I have been prompted by her and several close friends to consider writing a book. They seemed to believe that I actually had something worthwhile to say. Well, recognizing that I haven't the time or skill to commit to such a daunting endeavor, I believe that blogging will afford me the means to "chunkify" my awareness and to articulate them in digestible portions.
I relish the opportunity to interact with you in future posts and will devote the early contributions to some appropriate self disclosure. Again, I am a Myers-Briggs Extroverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiver (ENFP). You may want to Google that personality type for a great synopsis on that particular style. I strive for transparency in a fallen universe knowing that I may attain a greater degree as I yield to the Holy Spirit's work of conforming me to the image of Christ by the Scriptures. I am thankful that I am able to daily discern the Lord's calling as He did in Eden: "Why are you hiding?"
See you at the Potter's wheel!
