First, I'll preface this by saying that I know there are countless blogs out there already. I am exceedingly late to the party, as I often am when it comes to technology. I also know that there is an overwhelming abundance of information available on the internet, and a glut of voices competing for attention. I am self-aware enough to understand that I will not be doing anything earth-shattering or world-changing in this space. I am simply a Christian, a pastor, an occasional teacher and a sporadic writer who has decided to join the masses who have used the internet to share their thoughts and to initiate conversation about what is important to them. My hope is that this blog will bring new conversation partners into my life and initiate new friendships while at the same time reinvigorating old ones. My main practice here will be to post reflections on things that I'm reading, and to ask my readers (if there are any) what they think. I have been fortunate to be influenced by a number of strong, mature, and wise individuals and communities that have spurred me on to the kind of growth God desires for me and the kind of allegiance that God's kingdom demands. Without sustained discussion, I'm not sure where I'd be; this blog is, more than anything, an attempt to open myself up to more and better discussion with people whose interests and concerns intersect with my own, without necessarily mirroring them. So, as I begin this adventure, I want to invite friends, neighbors, and strangers to join me.
Grace and Peace,
Todd
