Welcome to ie:missional, my new blog. I hope to be a part of the growing community of those who are attempting to influence the entire world for the gospel. You can link to here from either www.iemissional.com or www.martyduren.com.
A couple of things: First, on this blog you can choose your own background. Under the title on the header bar are a series of thumbnails. By clicking on one of these, you can change the wallpaper as often as you see fit, thereby getting a personalized feel for this blog when you visit. Some photo files take a little longer than others to load; that is caused by the size of the photo as uploaded to the server. Some will take only 3-4 seconds to change, while others may take up to 20 seconds. I think this is a pretty cool feature.
Second, this is a discussion blog, so feel free to discuss. Lots of topics will be on the floor and it will be fun learning from each other. You need not be a follower of Christ to participate
Third, we will not always be attempting to reach a consensus, but rather to be exposed to various ideas that will help us get closer to both a biblical world view and a biblical lifestyle. Any billigerent commenter will be banned, but I’m not going to stop vigorous, on point debate simply because someone cannot hold their own.
Fourth, play nice! Nobody likes a bully. If you cannot defend your thoughts using words as something besides a club, then you probably need to head over to Rush Limbaugh’s place.
Last, I’ll be taking a couple of weeks off so that I can finish the blogroll and some other things, but mostly to rest and re-create. I’ll see you officially on Monday, July 2.
