Have been thinking a lot lately about the purpose of this blog.  I’m aware that there are a number of things that we are involved with that aren’t really appropriate for posting on the Internet.  But on the other hand I have benefitted so much in recent months reading various blogs of people, around Europe especially, who have been going through a similar transition to us.  Especially in the area of seeking a simpler and more authentic experience of what it means to live out Christian community.

I’m also aware that there’s a lot of pontificating out there on the blogosphere which isn’t necessarily that helpful.  It’s a great way of “living transparently” before people, but sometimes it’s hard to know just how transparent to be.   I like that fact that it forces me to think about writing things that I would be happy for anybody in our various circles of acquaintance to read.  It’s a good exercise in “being real”.  I think the current buzzword for that is being “holistic”.

So I’d like to keep this going, but I think the blog is going through a bit of an identity crisis at the moment.
