310project

I’m blogging! Will wonders never cease?

Why? I know a number of people who blog, but most of them are proven and published writers, which is a viable reason to blog. My son, Homer III, blogs . . . maybe I just want to be like my son!

WWJD? Imagine a first century with the internet . . . would Jesus blog? You might catch his latest teaching at “RabbifromGalilee.blogspot.com.”

What would Jesus blog? Jesus might publish the beatitudes . . . or a parable . . . can you imagine logging on to the first century internet and reading His latest blog: “Woe to You Scribes, Pharisees!”

Paul was an apostle with a proclivity for epistles; no doubt he would have blogged a few messages about matters on his heart. Well, he probably would have dictated his thoughts to a geek-scribe.

There’s no convincing reason for my decision to blog . . . perhaps I can provoke some thought and a little dialog. Maybe there will be some entertainment value to my blog. For some it might be like watching the early auditions for American Idol . . . I can do fingernails on a chalkboard real well! (For those of you who have no idea what a chalkboard is, you’ve missed the thrill of a lifetime!)

The most challenging aspect of launching my own blog involved the choice of a title. I thought, “This will be easy . . . clickety, click, click, click, and submit . . . who would want that one?” Pause. “Sorry, that choice is not available; try again!” (This is me, staring at the screen, appearing comatose.) After three futile suggestions, a blog ID was finally accepted: 310project.

Anyone want to guess what that means? Post a comment!

Uh, no Son . . . it’s not the goal of my next diet. (Thanks. Thank you! Thanks a lot!) Actually, that was pretty close. It is a reference to a personal project.

I am a project. God’s still working on me. By His grace, I am His workmanship. He’s working in everything for my good, because I love Him and I’m called according to His purpose.

I’m trying to work with God. He wants me to be more like His Firstborn Son, and that’s what I want too! I surely don’t want to be uncooperative with God. I don’t want to be apathetic or disinterested either! I want to be a worker together with God in this project.

I am nurturing a heart that says, “I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death.” That’s from Philippians chapter three, verse ten. I believe that attitude will keep me in the place where God and I can work most effectively on our project.

Philippians 3:10 . . . I’m a project . . . 310project!

I want to know Jesus Christ more than ever before!
