Today begins a new experiment of sorts. I've decided to establish a blog and I must confess that I'm excited about the possibilities that come along with it. Allow me to explain why.
As a preacher I have the privilege of speaking every Sunday. Sermons by nature are a rather one sided means of communication. I talk and you listen. At best I'm left with reading your body language as a response. Rather than having a monologue relationship, it occurs to me that it is much more relational if we live in dialogue with each other. My hope is that this blog will serve as a tool to help make that happen.
Sometimes after worship is over people offer me various comments or questions that would be of great benefit to a wider audience. Usually by the time I receive the feedback the moment has passed and the opportunity for broader discussion is lost. Blogging along with the opportunity for you to post comments and questions allows us to be more interactive.
Othter times a headline will come up in the news which grabs our attention and begs for comment, but doesn't necessarily fit within the context of the next Sunday's sermon. The blog will give us the opportunity to discuss these kinds of issues as well.
I invite you to sign on as a follower of the blog. I also invite you to post your comments, thoughts and questions. All I ask is that you be respectful of the thoughts and opinions of others when you post comments or questions. I'm looking forward to how this blogging process unfolds for all of us.

During this week I've been listening to a series on the Science of Spirituality on NPR. It's very interesting. If you're interested, here's the link http://www.npr.org/news/specials/2009/brain/
