Back to work

For reasons that are hard to explain, it has been awhile since I have posted here on my blog. I won't bore you with any of that. I will just say that it is time for me to be back to work here on Cliff's Note. You are gracious to have been so insistent in your reminders for me to get back at it.

I see my work on this blog as having three purposes. One is to comment on what I see and hear while doing my work as a pastor. While I never break confidences with people, sometimes the everyday occurences of church life are meant to be shared with others. There is a lot we all can learn from each other. Another purpose is to share with you some of the inspiration I myself receive. It takes a lot to keep me going in this work, and much of it needs to be passed on to you. Finally, there are times when I need to comment on the events of the day in culture and politics. In all of these things you are invited to respond to what I offer. One person can start a conversation, but it takes more than one to keep it going.

One of my goals at Elmhurst Presbyterian Church is to make sure that we are using all the means of communication that are available to us. Blogging is a fact of life now. Many of you may be bloggers. This relatively new means of talking to one another may become a primary means of communicating Christ in the 21st century. If so, then lets get on with it!
