Blogging, Why?

This is not something I've been craving to do for any certain amount of time. Just thought it's about time I do it. Blogging to me was a disturbing word, for one it ment that others might actually read something you say and not agree with it. Others may even enjoy what you say. Others may be thinking why is this guy saying anything he has nothing too say. Than I thought about our next generation leaders and blogging didn't seem so bad.

Leading the Church at the River Center I thought it might be helpful for people to hear what's going on here at the RC. What I want to do with this blog is...I'm not sure what I want to accomplish other than share my thought, ideas, heart about a local church in a rural area called Lebanon. We get a lot of bang for our buck with a city called Lebanon. I can't tell you how many times I've had to explain to someone I'm not from the middle east. Look at my profile pic do I look like I just walked off the set of "Three Kings" as one of the native extra's? It's usually a laugh when they figure out our city is located in the northwest in a valley called Willamette (try to pronounce that if you're outside the state of Oregon).

I would say that Lebanon is the best kept secret in the whole state of Oregon, we're about an hour or so from everthing-mountains-ocean-big city. It's a wonderful place to live and raise a family. It's also a great place to be pastoring a church, the RC (River Center).

For those of you that will be dropping by I trust you will enjoy what's going on "Here at the RC".
