NWP Blog...the genesis
Well, here we go. The day has finally come when I decided to enter into the world of blogging. Maybe one day I'll share with you all "why" I decided to do it.
I've been reading some very interesting, challenging books lately. The latest title is The Church on the Other Side by Brian McLaren. The book deals with postmodernism and basically how the church is really lagging behind as culture/society continue pushing ahead. I find myself nodding my head most of the time for two reasons...either (1) I'm agreeing with the author about how we have been missing it for awhile now or (2) because I'm getting more and more excited about the creative possibilities found in this new way of doing things.
All that to say that I thought maybe this could be a place where we get together to talk about some things...things that are on our minds (ok, at least on my mind)...things that might be going on here in NWP...things that might be interesting that God has been showing me/us lately. As the world gets smaller and smaller because of technology, it's easy to have these conversations even when you're thousands of miles apart.
So...welcome to the conversation (as the folks in the emerging church movement would say)!!

I think this is a great idea. Anything you think that will be helpful in sharing/connecting with people is always a worthwhile thing to try. Melissa and I have always loved you guys and we will be so glad to see you in Sept 2007. Hopefully you can still speak English and not just write it. :) In Christ... Mark Cary
