Douglas Adams, in his book “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” pokes more than a little fun at religion. He describes the “people” in the galaxy as being rather proud, definitely enlightened (and deceived at the same time) – and all around just plain goofy. Now, don’t get me wrong – I am a fan of the “Hitchhiker’s” series – and I find the humor and satire somewhat refreshing.

Welcome!

It’s hard to write the first post of a new blog – but here we are nevertheless. . .

This site was set up to be a collection of thoughts, insights, visions, dreams, etc. – all about The Church, and especially as to how The Church can continue to be relevant to a rapidly changing world.

We’ll see how it does – it may take months or even years before we get any real exposure. But when that time comes, I need to give credit to Mesilla Park Community Church of Las Cruces, NM for the vision to expand our influence as a church, and to ThreeBit Communications for providing the hosting for the site (thanks, Bill!).

If you feel the urge to contribute with your thoughts and story ideas, go right ahead and register. We may need to iron out the kinks in the system in order to make the posting and commenting process work well. After all, I’m just this guy, you know?

To God be the glory, now and forevermore. Amen.
