Why?

I am starting this blog for a few reasons. First, I want a forum to discuss a book with my sons. That book is by Tim Keller, The Reason for God. Its a great resource, newly published, that will help people who wonder about God. I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Tim Keller is a pastor in New York City and I read and listen to just about anything I can that comes from him. He helps me see Jesus and live in His grace. Second, I need to do what I am calling remix. I find myself thinking about lessons I have taught and questions that came afterward and coming up with new ways to understand and express what seems important to others, to me, and hopefully to God. So sometimes I'll do a remix entry out of a Sunday School class or sermon--just a few more thoughts, or answers to questions. Third, I can use this blog as a way to get some information to some people in a way that is non intrusive for them. They can get it if and when they want. For example, as I prepare lessons for a men's mountain climbing trip this summer I can float ideas, get feedback, and hopefully learn to do a better job. There could be other uses, but they will appear when they do. Any questions?
