starting a conversation

I'm hoping that blogging will force me to get thoughts out of my head before they get lost in all the flotsam there.

I'm also hoping that doing this will open conversations that I'd never have otherwise, with people I'd never talk to otherwise. (And probably at a time of day that I never see anyone except the newspaper guy and stockbrokers hitting the gym before the market opens.)

I love being a pastor. I love talking with people about stuff that actually matters -- and a lot of stuff actually matters.

Like the play I'm about to go see, starring one of my 10-year-olds. What better thing could I do with my free evening than show her she's loved? Even her. Even you.
