Stepping on Toes

Well, this morning I think I did just that in my sermon. My own toes even feel sore! If you heard the reading of I Timothy 6 and Luke 16, you know what I mean. Check out the "Global Rich List" link at the left to see just how world-wealthy you are! I was stunned, and shamed that I ever complain about wanting more.

It helps to know that the web makes it easier than ever to reach out and give aid to persons who desperately need to know someone cares and wants to change the fact that they have nothing, or close to it, by worldly standards. With us, they are children of God, and the body of Christ has a duty to be Christ to them, to bring healing and redemption. I have added links (all to the left) that I find helpful to keep up with what's going on in the world, and to do what Christ has asked us all to do on his behalf...bring hope. I will continue to add to this list as I find websites that I think will enable us all to reach across the chasm that separates rich and poor to touch "Lazarus at our gates."

A Beginning

As I have read the blogs of other pastors and families, I have thought:
Wouldn't it be nice if our family had one, too? We pastors (and our families) often say that no one can understand the life we live without living it, but perhaps blogs are one way we can invite others into the journey with us...to pray with us, to share with us, to walk with us as we all seek to be more and more faithful each day.
I pray that this blog will be just that, an invitation to share the journey of faith.
