Getting started

So, here's my first blog. I've been putting this off for a long time but decided to go ahead and get started blogging. Why? Well, blogging is the perfect vehicle from bringing out little tidbits or lengthy missives, so why not?

What's been stirring around in my noodle? For several years I've been increasingly focused on love. Love is the most basic thing a Christian is called to but we spend so much of our time doing everything but loving each other. Maybe we should just drop everything for a while and see if we can learn to love.

John 13:35 says "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another". He doesn't say, "they will know you are Christians by the candidate you back in the next election", nor does he say, "they will know you are Christians by the church you attend." He says that ALL will know who you follow based on who you love.

Interesting...
