Having something to say doesn't mean anyone cares to listen. And blogging tends to affirm that notion.
Therefore, this blog is launched with the intention of spurring listening, questioning and discussing God and The United Methodist Church.
Seinfeld, the TV show, announced it was a "show about nothing." Wikipedia says about the characters, "were 'thirty-something singles ... with no roots, vague identities, and conscious indifference to morals'." While that made the show such a hit on television, it makes for a poor role model for the Church. Yet the Church is filled with Seinfeld-like characters--no roots, vague identities, and conscious indifference to morals. In contrast, the Bible tells us that our baptism establishes our roots and identities as children of God. It goes on to establish that morality is not relative and individualistic but guided by standards imposed by the Creator--God. So Church what do our lives look like then?

Welcome to blog world! If I say "IT'S ABOUT TIME!", will you still post my comment? LOL.
Seriously, looking forward to great discussions as we seek to renew and revitalize the people called Methodist.
Peace!
Awesome! I've been waiting for so long for my pastor to get up to speed technological :)
