Installment #2 Body and soul series: the blog will live on --
A few days ago Naida sent out a request for more of you to comment on our blog in order to gauge whether or not there was enough interest to continue. There has been a slight increase in comments as a direct result of her request and of course her blog that day. That particular blog had to do with study in the Word of God and that is the sole purpose of moreaboutHisWord, to stimulate folks to dig into God’s Word and study it for themselves. As I thought about her blog and the sort of poll she wanted (at my request) I realized that maybe I was being selfish in wanting more comments to satisfy my ego as a great expositor of the Word.
Maybe a little pride creeping in here?
First of all let me set the record straight…I am not a great expositor of the Word, just a heart that is hungry for the Word.
Naida was correct in saying that I have had a lifelong love affair with God’s Word(although she maybe didn’t use those same words), I do love God’s Word immensely.
I have some wonderful friends who have been faithful in commenting on this blog since it was initiated and also others who just recently have acquired a computer and have gone on line and faithfully submit comments and also are very capable in their comments, in what they have to say regarding the subject matter. So for their sake Naida and I will continue to write blogs, but more important than even their sake we will write blogs for the Gospel’s sake.
It doesn’t have to be a qualified minister to propagate the Gospel, in fact it is the responsibility of each and every Christian to promote the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We will write blogs for the encouragement of people who need encouragement; we will write blogs for people we have never met who may have lost their way and will never answer one of our blogs but we know that God has touched their hearts in some way and lifted them that day. We understand this by faith.
We will write blogs for missionaries who have indicated that they have received a lift or a blessing while they have ministered in places like Spain, India, Morocco and Bangkok and in turn have prayed specifically for us when we were on short term missions to the Caribbean and Europe.
We will write blogs for a missionary family from New Brunswick who are doing a great work in Mindanao area in the Philippines and also another great missionary family who are the offspring of a great man of God by the name of Eugene Garrett who was called to the Philippines. His roots went down deep in New Brunswick soil, his adopted home, and he established a great mission there in a place called Antipolo outside Manila. Both these missions have told me how they have been blessed by our blog.
Whether or not there are comments, we will write blogs because the Lord has given us this opportunity and I feel as I know Naida does that it is His will for us to do so. The blog lives on…My word structure is not so perfect, perhaps I should say my sentence structure and I am not highly educated I just write from my heart as God enables me. My lack of grammatical skills aside, my only purpose is to please God and this blog is one way for me to be the witness He desires me to be...RC

Thats great news!! Im so happy that this is going to continue. I have also decided that I will continue to comment. I know that not too long ago, I mentioned that I felt that I shouldnt be commenting on this, but its just the devils way of having power over me. I know Jesus loves and forgives and the devil tries to tell me that Jesus hasnt and that Im not worthy of writing on here, so in spite of how the devil makes me feel, Im going to continue to comment. It kind of gives me some release to be able to type what I feel at particular times. Thanks for allowing me to do that. Keep up the good work. I have talked to a few people this week and have passed on your blog site address to them, so hopefully they will log on to it too! God Bless and have a great day!
