The Open Net

In reading a recent blog from a dear friend . . . I began thinking about an open net -- rather than the internet! This whole idea has opened up our lives . . . our bank accounts . . .our accessibility . . .and our vulnerability! I really can remember Pre Net . . .and I really never want to go back there . . .but is there a vulnerability that has just rocketed with the internet ?? His blog was about evangelism and and using it as an "open net" rather like the fishing nets of many, many days gone by. The "open net" idea is rather scary to me -- makes me think of the circus and a chance of falling. I rather like to remember the Scriptures of the fishing net -- !

A Painful Passion

Love isn't always joyful. There is painful passion. I've not seen Mel Gibson's Passion of Christ movie as yet. I may be the only one who hasn't, and I do intend to do so, but in thinking today about Christ's painful passion, I am reminded that the intense depth of His love is so uncomprehensible to the human emotion. But I do know that even we limited humans are hurt by love at times. I find it very intriguing that some of my friends and family who I love -- are in pain by human love. Thank you Jesus . . . for love divine. Love divine .. .. all love excelling!!

A First Time for Everything

What a very interesting way to "read my mind." Since being out of school for a couple of years now . . . and completing my MA in an on-line degree program from Seton Hall, I've missed "postings." Here's a new way to expand my horizons. Please be patient with this new blogger . . . I'll try to explore and create . . . and even be interesting at times. Thanks to my friend . . . the Chiefspeak . . for passing on "the blog."
