I'm Back, Part 1

So, as promised, with the new year comes renewed activity on this blog.  I plan to post two to four times a week.

Besides the fact that I plan to be posting again, the biggest change to this blog will be to the philosophy of the blog. When this blog started, I laid out a grand vision for my blog as follows:
I've become convinced that this is not just the way of doing church that best fits me, but that Organic Church, meaning the principles and foundations of Organic Church, is the way church should be done. This blog is meant to be a way to explore this idea and to engage in conversation about the way church should be done. It is meant to be a catalyst for discussion both within the Simple Church movement (there is a lot to discuss- Organic Church being the right way really means the right starting points, not the right exact executions) and without, as an apologetic organ for the movement. I hope to convince those outside the Simple Church movement that, firstly, this isn't apostasy or heresy and that, secondly, they should join us.
Here's my new vision for my blog:
This blog is to record my thoughts and serve as a place for discussion about my experiences and beliefs as I try to delve into the depths of "doing Church," which I'm increasingly convinced means "living life with God."
A bit of a change, huh? Besides being far less of a mouthful, the main changes are that it is more about God and isn't as dogmatic. 
    More on these changes in parts 2 and 3 of this post.
