Summer Blogging

Well, I don't know about you guys, but I've been really excited lately about our blog. Maybe it's just me, but it seems that there's been some particuarly cool communication action going on here. There's been some cool stuff posted, such as Ben's poetry, and many of you have given some insightful thoughts on posts like "Awesome Stuff..." and "Serving the Lord". Also, the roll call got responses from some folks we'd not heard much from, and with our new guestbook, hopefully we can start hearing from folks outside our group. So, yeah, I'm excited, as you may have seen in my last post.

But, darn it - what a time for things to pick up! School's out now, and I know that many of you don't have access to this at home. So what's gonna happen? Well, I pray that things continue in the direction they're going. I mean - summer! What better time to be blogging than now as we prepare for Pineywoods and all the other great things God will doing with our group.

But it's gonna take a concentrated effort from all of you. I really want to encourage you all to keep the blog alive. If you're one of those that reads this but doesn't use it, stop doing that. I'm not asking you to post something for the sake of posting something - I'm asking you to engage. Engage in discussions. You don't have to make posts at all if you don't want - the real action happens in the comments, so read them and add your own. I'm asking you to engage in these discussions just as you would a discussion at church. Shaun, I'm looking in your direction, buddy. Your input on the "Serving the Lord" post was awesome! Let's hear more from you, man!

Those of you who are engaged in the action on here, I'm gonna ask you guys to keep it up and maybe even bump it up a notch. Don't work yourself to a point where you get burnt out on it, just make a concentrated effort to ensure the blog doesn't die out during these summer months.

So keep it up! Don't let this recent blog usage be just a momentary fad. Let's continue on this path.

We really have had some cool stuff going on on the bloggy here lately. ^_^
With school being out I really hope that Ben will still be able to come back on here. That probably goes for Blake as well? I'm not sure who has internet access and who doesn't, but I hope we stay in contact. =)

Hopefully during suuuummmmer we will be able to spend more time with the group.
It's hard to get my head to wrap around that we're going to be going to summer camp this month. It's always seemed so far away. Hehe.


Well, I should be here as much as I usually am. Hopefully others will continue to come on or find a way to get on the net. ^_^

An example of some of that cool stuff - go check out the guestbook if you haven't already. We're getting signed by people we don't know. That's awesome, you guys!
