And So It Begins

(this was the first blog posted in early May, 2007 to introduce the intentions behind blogging)



Well, I just finished the book by Brian Bailey called "The Blogging Church". His thoughts about the opportunity for the church leadership to reach out to the constinuency of the church were inspiring and motivating.  Hence, Living Water Unity Church now has a blog.
I look forward to conversing with those that are motivated to express their thoughts. This is an interesting experiment for me because we will likely be hearing from people that are not constituents of our church. Even the title of this blog is going to draw people not of our community -- people who are curious, people who are in agreement with the thoughts posted here and, of course, those that do not agree with the opines expressed.
Welcome to the world, eh?
An important idea that seems to be warranted here is that we may well get into discussions about which no one has absolute knowledge (such as the nature of God) and about which most people have opinions.  Let us not confuse one (knowledge) for the other (opinions).  Most of us (the posters on this blog) are sincere seekers, each trying to figure it out or, at least, trying to experience some expression of the Divine.
I invite you to express your opinions -- AND I invite you to be open to changing your opinions, not that you need to but rather to retain a flexibility of opinion that we may all experience in increase in our awareness of God's presence.
Blessings
David
