Why read this blog? It's a question that someone asked me the other day. About half our our church reads through the blog weekly or more and while talking to someone about that they asked, why do you think it's important to read the blog?
So I thought I'd mention it again because from time to time things like that need to be revisited. Please don't take it as a point of self-importance. The real reason is because I began to wonder "What would happen if a church really knew what their pastor thought." Pastors preach weekly to try to tell you something that God wants you to hear, but really that's so limited. What if you could hear what your pastor thought on any given Tuesday? or the day a friend of his died? or a great day in his life. What if he could plug you into those messages that he'll never be able to preach. What if he could tell you about things happening in the church. Not just the what but the why. What if he could direct you to major influences in his life? Reflections from scripture or other books he's reading. And what if during that reading you could respond and interact not just with your pastor but with others in the commenting community? And what if the mission of SRC wasn't just the pastor's but everyone who called SRC their church home, and we were really united in thought and passion?
That's why I blog. That's why I'm thankful you read.

"What if you could hear what your pastor thought on any given Tuesday?" That's exactly why I read it. To know what's going on with you, with the family, with SRC. To rejoice when you rejoice, to pray when you pray, to bear another's burden when appropriate.
