Okay, this is my first shot at blogging. Ever. I’m a little nervous about it. There are so many decisions to make. Like first, I have to decide WHO I’m blogging to. Fortunately that’s easy. I’m blogging to all the great youth at Trinity Presbyterian Church here in Topeka, Kansas. But wait, can’t anyone pull this up on their computer? So if you’re reading this now maybe you're one of our “Triniteens.” But then maybe you’re a college junior in Ann Arbor (Go Blue!) or a hang glider instructor in Monterrey, California or a dentist in Munich or somebody on vacation in Australia.

Well I can’t do anything about that, so I’m moving on.

My next question is WHAT do I blog about?? That’s the biggie. I could blog about what I was doing this morning at my house – but how many of you want to read about my fried egg and bacon sandwich with a shot of Miracle Whip (awesome!) or about how my daughter loves to do the maccarena while watching Disney Clubhouse. Maybe I should blog about the fantastic Can Film Festival lock-in where we dressed up like movie stars and collected a ton of canned goods for the Battered Women's Shelter. Or maybe I could blog about the great Christmas pageant that our youth group put on last night as well as the chili supper! (See our youth website for pics + news of upcoming events at www.trinitypresbyterian.net/youth ).

So there are a million topics I could choose.

But what I wonder today is if Jesus had a wireless computer that he could take with him on those boat rides on the Sea of Galilee, what would Jesus Blog? Couldn’t you imagine how he’d have to blog about how he picked those twelve disciples – and well, sometimes they’re a bit dense! Or what about the time he was having dinner and a woman walks right in and -- whoaa!! -- pours a jar of nard (seriously expensive oil) on his head. Or what about one of those routine days when he was healing a bunch of people and folks started jamming into the house – and then, some guys actually cut a hole in the ceiling so they could lower one of their buddies right in front of Jesus! Are you kidding me?!! Jesus would have tons of great material to blog about.

Unfortunately, Jesus didn’t have a laptop at the time. BUT, there were a few folks by the name of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John who did do some old fashioned blogging – and with the help of the Holy Spirit they gave us the gospels.

So keep checking this website for my future blogs -- AND let me hear back from you!! What's on your mind??

And remember that you can always catch a blog from Jesus by grabbing a Bible and reading some really Good News!

Peace!
