A toast to our former selves...

A little while back, someone brought up the idea of creating a blog for the group. Right now seems an opportune time since we are coming to the holiday season and many of us will not be around. This is a great way to continue the conversation, whatever it may be.

I will post a number of different things. Some days I will post song lyrics that I think are rather insightful, other days I'll post philosophical points, others I'll post ideas I pulled out of CS Lewis's, "Mere Christianity." The point is, I will probably be unoriginal. I just want good conversation.

I want everyone to post reactions, thoughts, criticisms, etc... Tear me apart, I don't care. I want this to stimulate thought and growth; to really stretch everyone out there. You can post whatever your gut reaction is or research Scripture and post your thoughts laced with that or even just research a philosophical standpoint to use as your basis - I don't care, there are no rules.

Hope everyone enjoys this process. Don't be afraid to criticise - I want this to be completely organic and change to fit our needs. My goal is that this blog will play a role in leaving us different than whence we first began, thus the title for this inaugural post, "A toast to our former selves."

Enjoy and stay in touch!

Yo,

I love blogs but either don't have the 3 min. it takes to set one up or am too self conscious to actually set one up myself and write what I actually think. Afraid it'll come back to haunt me in a year - or a month. So since this is our blog i don't feel nearly as self conscious.

Dudes, if you find a cool link to something and you want to direct someone to it. Or if mike doesn't want to write up ALL the lyrics because they're online... you can use a little HTML to create links. Here's an Easy (copy/paste easy) tutorial on how to do some other quick HTML things like this.

And that's all from Nick Burn's, your companies computer guy.
