The Beginning

I have always wanted to Blog. The Blog Master said it would be "my personal diary. My daily pulpit. My soapbox. My own breaking news outlet. My own memo to the world."

I didn't want all that! It all sounded too much about ME! I wanted something for US! God keeps drawing pictures (I do better with crayola pictures than I do with books with big words!) in my life. And all the pictures have people in them. Of course, the pictures have God in them, too!

The pictures look alot like the stories in the Bible. They are all about people. And God! They can't be separated. That's why I wanted a blog about US.

If God has designed US to share life together, there are times I wish US could be together more often. When US (messy grammar, but sharing life together can be messy sometimes!) are together we are encouraged to be more like GOD!

So the E-Project is about using the internet to draw even more pictures about YOU, ME (that's US) and GOD! I hope you will be encouraged!

Keith,
I was church today and heard your sermon about Encouragement. In my work we need to hear these words. to Encourage each other and I will take this message of hope with me to work on Monday.
Personality, beside work issues, I am struggling with the death of my neice. She was 42. A 20 yr award winning CPS Worker in Conroe, Tx. Beaten to death by her boy friend and set on fire to cover the murder. She lived 24 hours, before the family pulled the plug. She left behind had a 16 yr old daughter and a family that adored her. She was a respected leader in her community and devoted to the children that she protected. Pray for the family of Terry Lee of Conroe, Tx. The road ahead is going to be long and difficult for her family. Patricia Warren, Ft Worth, Tx 76112 tricia4007@sbcglobal.net

This is a great idea! I started my blog a few months ago for several reasons, none of which had anything to do with encouragement. But I have since been pleasantly surprised at how much encouragement I receive from reading other blogs! It's amazing how many times someone has written just the thing I needed to read that day. And sometimes I'll post on something I think very uninteresting and someone will comment on how encouraging it was to them. I love how God is using blogland for His glory!!!

Keith-

Thanks again for sharing your heart with us yesterday, my friend! I'm praying God will use this to "build each other up" as His Word directs us. I'm glad God's brought us into the journey together, and I look forward to what He unfolds for us ahead! Have a blessed week in HIM!

Hey Mr. Keith,
I did not hear your sermon Sunday- we were doing our monthly volunteering Seth's 5 year old class but you can bet I will be watching your sermon this week as soon as it is uploaded!!!---It looks like it has resonated into something life-giving and life-blessing!!

keith -- great to see your heart on parade. Loved the story of rained out plan breeding even better plans. Last night, we had a similar sweet time. Just getting back from vacation and my first day of work, i wanted to flop on the counch. but sam wanted me to swim with him. then grace joined and then Laurel too. While listening to an old praise CD we laugh and goofed off. ONce again God reminds me that moving toward relationship is always richer than my selfish pursuits.
