Getting started with Whatever...

What are you supposed to write for a first blog entry anyway? Are you supposed to lay out a mission statement, or some essay as to why you are doing what you are doing? I don't know. Mostly this is just so I can discipline myself more in following Christ by actively writing about and reflecting on the experiences He is putting in my path.

Hopefully this also means that you, as a reader, might get to share a few tidbits of wisdom if you dig around in the mess enough as well.

I hope that more than anything else that by doing this regularly, when I go back and look at these entries and experiences, I'll see the hand of God guiding and shaping my life. It will also be a chance to do something that ties in with my life as a minister, and be able to encourage you in your walk, as well as maybe letting you get to know me a bit more without the "minister" hat on all the time.

Of course, that may not be such a good thing, since I've often said of you could get into my mind you'd pay good money to get back out again...

So we will see where this goes.

Oh yeah. Why the title whatever? Simple:

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. - Philippians 4:8

Makes perfect sense to me, right?

So stop by occasionally, kick off your shoes and stick around. We'll talk about whatever, and let God take care of the growing and the shaping. Deal? See you soon!
