For some time now I have read blogs as a way to stay current with the news and happenings in various fields of interest, and though you have to be somewhat guarded in how you process the information found on blogs, I think they are useful for helping people to communicate and connect. That being said, we must be careful not to allow those we interact with online to become depersonalized in our minds; instead, we have to maintain the highest respect and regard for others, remembering that the person on the other side of the screen is, in fact, a real person. So, even as we make use of this new form of communication let us continually seek to foster and encouarge meaningful personal relationships, for as accessible and efficient as communicating and connecting online is, it is no substitute for real-life interaction.
I am opening this blog for the purpose of communicating and connecting so that we, individually and corporately, may better live For the Glory of God and the Good of Others. I welcome your comments and look forward to learning and growing together.

I like the title of your blog.
I enjoyed the encouraging comment on Wade's blog so I thought I would come and check your blog out.
Good thoughts about communication and yes, easy to forget the typist is a real person.
I noticed on your other site about adopting a child.
I pray that went well. What a wonderful opportunity for your family. My son and daughter are planning on doing the same and I am an adopted child.

Patrick,
I saw your post on Wade's site. I grew up in Emmanuel. My dad was the YFC director. I was baptised at Emmanuel with Pastor Houchin.
AlyceLee, Thanks for your comment. The adoption process was an incredible experience for our family. You can read about it and see pictures if you go to www.journeytome.com. Both the username and password is powell5.
Kevin, I have heard several accounts from the years Pastor Houchin served at EBC. Mrs. Houchin is still an active member in the church and is doing well.
