Our First Little Bit of Blog

Well, here we are friends! You are now part of the inaugural blog piece that will chronicle some of the biblical, spiritual, religious, and of course, miscellaneous, musings during my time at Baileyton United Methodist Church.
I aim to keep this as a place to read and comment upon my sermon manuscripts, a devotional or meditation here and there, and absolutely, anything that you--a v.i.p. in our community of faith--feel led to write or share.
For anything outside the realm of our faith in God, through Christ, living in Holy Spirit (which, trust me, is broad enough of a topic) you will need to see the other blogs that I struggle to maintain. (You really don't want to miss what I think about Bobby Cox and his antiquated management of my dear Atlanta Braves, do you?)
There are a few things that are important to convey at this point in a journey (that is, the beginning). One, this is not a place meant exclusively for folks in, around, from, or part of Baileyton. This is a place for everyone--particularly those who seek to seek, together. Two, it is fine to lurk, or troll, or even stalk a little (just don't stalk me, or I'll have one of my golden girls on you before you can say 'rumple-steele-skin'). Though a blog will display many more signs of life when everyone who visits, and reads, and ponders, takes part and leaves a little something for the community. Please, do elaborate.
And last, for now, I leave you with my thanksgiving. The simple fact that you are here would seem to indicate a least a scooch of interest in deepening the journey, the conversation, the process, and everything else that is part of The Way. I am blessed to have you along for the walk, and I will pray that this place now begins a more powerful awareness of and communion with the Living God. Come one, come all. Come Lord Jesus!

I'm here to profess my scooch of interest. Great start mon frere. I have prominently displayed your blog on mine, creating quite a line up of distinguished UM clergy. Sort of like a theological clearing house.
So I was expecting the Funk sermon to be at least reviewed, but, alas, it was not to be. Dare it be posted later?
