Why Blog?

As I get back into this blogging world... I had to ask myself, "what do I think I'm doing?... Do I have the time?  Do I even have anything to say?  Well, I talked with some bloggers at the churchplanters.com conference and realized that some would think I'm just jumping on the blogging bandwagon... but then I thought ... so what?... Here's what I plan to use this blog for: 

1.)  Communicating with my church.  We will most likely still send out our email newsletter, but it will simply be announcing upcoming events and giving general information.  My blog will allow me to speak personally with my church folks and those of you who want to "listen in" can do so. 
2.)  Document my spiritual and church planting journey.  This is a pretty personal thing... I've been journaling for about 16 years and I'm pretty open and honest in my journals... this will be a test of my authenticity.  plus... I won't have to buy any more journals so I can save money!
3.) Connecting with other church planters and people I know in ministry that can help us along our journey.

I welcome any thoughts and comments you might have to help make this blog a very cool place.

Enjoy the Journey,

Eric
