I want to say how much I appreciate my followers from around the world. Your posts carry me to your part of the world in a very interesting way. Thanks for showing me something new everyday. Your place in the world is important and I encourage you to keep on blogging. Peace my friends.

I was reminded this weekend of the significant role of a local pastor and the need for the local church. To me I will always find more credibility of the words and actions of a pastor/priest who is on the front lines in community dealing with the hurts and struggles day-to-day of people who are their neighbors and friends. You cannot get that same level of attention from some person you see on TV. I will always be more inspired by people who will be there for you through the good and bad times who happen to proclaim the love, grace and peace of God.

When people who don’t follow this blog or Facebook follow me on Twitter I scratch my head a little. I am a really boring person. Now I am a welcoming person but just saying.

So I have a more casual profile pic, What do you think? Still dorky, nerdy, geeky as ever…wouldn’t have it any other way.
