10 days ago, I put up a post called, “How to use this blog.” Since there will be more of you checking this out after I announce it at the youth meeting, I thought it would be worth a repeat. Not a correction for those who have been posting. Just FYI for the newbies.

Here’s how it works: I post, you respond. You respond to responses. On it goes. Here are some guidelines for using this blog:

• Check back often. I plan to post regularly, even if I can’t post every day.
• Respond all you like. I want to hear from you.
• Got questions or ideas for posts? Email me!

• Humility required. When posting a response to someone else’s comments, treat them like you were talking to them face-to-face. Not sure what that should be like? Check out Ephesians 4:1-3. This is an absolute must. We’re here to interact with other people’s ideas, and be stimulated by their ideas, not to critique their ideas.

• Post anonymously if you like, but sign your name. We value your opinion, and we want to know who you are.

• Finally, I’m confident that you will keep your comments encouraging and redemptive. I have the power to delete, but I trust I won’t have to use it.
