Summer Update

I'm still here! And, despite appearances, we'll be continuing our confessions and musings on "medals of faith" in the days to come -- an "attitude of gratitude" is next.

A funny thing happened enroute to writing those reflections: I stumbled into Facebook! Of course, I've known about Facebook for quite awhile, but hadn't really spent much time in that realm. I've been doing it for a few weeks now, though -- not really because I didn't have anything else to do, but for two other reasons:

1. I'm intrigued by the mindset behind "social networking," and I'm seeking to understand it especially for its potential in evangelism; and,

2. I have a teenage daughter and I'm trying to stay savvy on the ways of her peers. I'm especially determined that "boys" (and, yes, I'm calling them that diminutive term on purpose) understand that I am an inescapable factor to be reckoned with if they choose to so much as glance in my daughter's direction! (Hey, I can say all this, because I'm a male and I've had two sons :-)

At any rate, if you too do Facebook, look me up there. Otherwise, keep dropping by here from time to time for more thoughts from my walk with the Lord through this out-of-order world. And, of course, feel free to share your own comments anytime.

Stay sharp,

Preston
