I had put off doing a blog for a long time. There were several reasons. One was the time required. I did not want to start something only to quickly end it. Two, I wasn’t sure I had anything to say that was worth reading.
So I set out some rules for my blog:
- My intent is to keep most everything in my own words. If I use another person’s words, I will quote and cite the work. (If you find something that is not original to me, call me out on it and I will give credit)
- There will be some ideas that come from someone that I may have read a long time ago and have forgotten the source. So give me a break… I’m not sure any of us have truly original thoughts.
- I will be as honest as possible without violating a confidence.
- All first hand stories will be truthful and as accurate as possible, although I may change some information to protect a confidence.
- Your comments are welcome. You are free to disagree. But I am free to disagree back. I will not promise a detailed response to your emails.
- You are free to pass along to others anything I write. Just make sure you keep the words in context.
- Although I am seminary trained, attended Oxford University and have an earned doctorate, I am NOT an intellect or an academian… so don’t expect it. I have never considered myself to be a deep thinker, but I do think… at least I think I do.
- If you find a grammatical error… git over it. If the error becomes your focus that u no longer sea the statemint… well, it’s your rabit to chace.
- My first and foremost purpose is to honor God and lift up Jesus.
- My second purpose is to build up the Bride of Christ… his church… and in my case the Gateway family.
