A Poll....of sorts

I am curious as to what you think about what goes on here. Over the past year, we just crossed over 15,000 visits, this blog has functioned in a rather eclectic fashion. I like that. I sincerely wish more folks would feel free to post their thoughts and questions. By virtue of the increasing visits to this site, something good is happening. You would not come back if you did not find anything of value, at least some of the time.

Specifically, I am interested in what you think and feel about the content and questions that challenge the borders of traditional CofC thinking. There are some who have expressed their opinion that this is bad. The argument is as follows: causing people to question could lead to a weakening of their faith, weak faith is sinful; therefore, the causing of questioning is sinful (and divisive).

For me, blogs provide a wonderful learning and growing opportunity. I thoroughly enjoy the sharing of divergent ideas and the broadening of outlook that comes with it. I really enjoy a robust discussion of issues that are relevant to our home situations. I have benefited significantly from the sharing of perspective that happens in the blog-o-sphere.

So what do you think? What do you like and dislike? What is your idea of how this blog might move ahead in the future? Every opinion is valuable!

I don't care what we do on here as long as it causes people to grow in their faith in God and His ability to do anything He dag gone pleases.

Jason - I'm with you -- I think blogging is a great tool that God can use in many ways. I have seen lots of encouragement, faith building, and sometimes fun stuff while blogging.

BTW -- that last comment -- and this one as well -- have been brought to you by the wireless internet connection in the Dupont Lodge at Cumberland Falls State Park, Ky. God has really blessed this retreat, thanks for your prayers.

Now you may continue the comments on the "A Poll...of Sorts."
