What Now?

I am starting this blog as an attempt to get people talking. Anyone, everyone, no matter our race, creed, color, ethnicity, religious background, church affiliation, political views, no matter any of the insignificant things we so hold dear to us. I want us to talk. Society Rooms are as old as the 1600's. They are groups of people who would get together from all walks of life and dialogue about what was happening in society and how we can work together to make "it" work. I want this to be a Society Room about the direction of the church today, but I don't just want the church's opinion. That would be like me going to a democrat and asking them who they think should be president. Of course they will say a democrat. I want all those who want in on the conversion to be in on the conversation. Whether we have the same world view or differ in most everything under the sun. Life is a Journey that we all get the privilege to take together. That is why life is not what's next but what is happening now. We must look to the future and have a constant eye on the horizon, but life is not gauged by how long we live or by the destination we will end at, but the people we meet, the memories we make, the events that happen, the lives we effect, the choices we make, and the legacy we will leave. We have a choice where we go from here. We do not have a choice how long the journey is, only how great the journey can be, not only for us, but also for those around us. I will pose a question once a week, hopefully on Thursday, if I'm not in a place where I can post on Thursday I will try and post on Fri. You know how that goes sometimes though. Life is tough sometimes, does not stop ever, and can beat you up if you are not ready for the everyday grind. Life can also be wonderful, free, exhilarating, and sometimes more then we can hope or imagine. I happen to think that there is more out there then what we are settling for. We have been programmed to think that what we got is what we got, but I think that we are, too many times, settling for less then what God wants for us. Let's do this journey together, as iron sharpens iron, so one man can sharpen another. My one request is that no matter your world view we come into this dialogue with an open mind and the thought that, "I do not have every answer, I do not know all, I can learn from others, and hope that God (or whatever/whomever you may believe in) can teach me something new everyday".
