I don't exactly know if there is a correct way to begin blogging or, if there is a proper way to introduce oneself to the larger blogging community. However, one thing I do know, since I don't know if there is proper protocol, is a greeting that is common in my tradition and in the larger tradition of the Christian community. This is the introduction I desire to extend to you.
"Grace and Peace."
That's it. Grace and Peace to you. Grace because no matter how you view the state of human nature, we cannot help but see the pain and hurt in this world. Something has gone seriously wrong. Grace is the gift we have been given from God to allow us to still have relationship with God in the midst of this brokenness. It allows us to have union with our creator.
Peace because it is what we need. Peace because peace is a step toward restoration, a step toward deeper relationship with God. Peace is a conscious movement in opposition to the war that plagues this world. Peace is a state in which we hope to see the world live.
Grace and Peace because that is all we have to cling to in this world. Grace and Peace given to us by the Love of God in the name of Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
So to everyone who reads further, I hope this will do for an introduction.
Grace and Peace
