Comments are Encouraged & New Section: Twitter

Just in case it wasn't apparent to anyone who drops by this site, I heartily encourage comments. In fact, there are days where I don't create any new posts because I'm more directly involved in talking with other people who comment here. In fact, I anticipate a good discussion will ensue in the BBS: Parable of the Wicked Tenants post below and it would be great if you would chime in!

I've also added a relatively new section to this site: Twitter. What the heck is that? We'll, without getting too deep into it, Twitter is an easy way for me to tell you what I'm doing related to this blog. I update my Twitter status multiple times a day which can be good if you're wondering whether I've fallen off the face of the earth or I'm just working on a new post.

FYI: For those wondering, I fell off the face of the earth a long time ago.

New Section - Blog Bible Study (BBS)

I'm seriously considering an online blog-based Bible study. I love the idea of taking a section of the Bible and reviewing it with smart people who want to dig for the truth. My main concern now is how to get started, but I think the solution might be to choose a concept and dig into it from some "random" starting point.

How about we begin with a miracle? I love Jesus' miracles, the (usually unexpected) lessons taught, and the strange way people around him react to them. Does anyone have a favorite they would like to get started with?

I think today would be a great day to select a miracle (or parable) and Monday would be a great day to begin discussing it. What do you think?

New Section - JWSTSOOY

What the heck do all those jumbled letters stand for? JWSTSOOY? They mean whatever you want them to mean. For me, it's Jesus Would Slap The Stuffing Out Of You (or some socially unacceptable variant therein).

I'll start right off today with a doozy!

New Section - Simple Questions

I've decided that sometimes it's better to post a question I have no formal answer for than to avoid posting about it. In those instances, I'll title it a Simple Question and listen for answers. If none are forthcoming, I may post on the subject again later or just let it go. Consider these placeholders with comments encouraged.

New Section - Random Stuff

Not every post in this blog will mention faith directly, but it's all part of who I am. For example, the posts I make under Random Stuff will be of this ilk.

I like cute things involving animals. Something about it just warms my heart. But I love when animals are caught in pictures like this:



The entire "lolcats" concept seemed to have come out of left field. I'm not sure what it all means, but it sure can be entertaining.

And when was the last blog post you read that used the word "ilk"?

New Section - Links to Review

I've added a section to the right side of this page titled "Links to Review". This is intended to provide you and me some links I've stumbled across and think might be interesting (for whatever reason), but haven't looked at long enough to know whether they are appropriate for this site.

When I add a link to that section, I'll add a post here so you and I can comment on the content of the link and determine if it's reasonable to keep on the site or more appropriate to remove.

Hope this helps... we'll see.
