Hi, my name is Becky, and this is the first time I have started a blog. Tom tells me to just talk about myself, not an easy thing for me to do, but here goes. I am finishing up a degree in Christian Ministry, and then I hope to go to be a Licensed Local Pastor with the United Methodist Church. That is sort of the end of the story, one that started a very long time ago with God tugging at my heart to tell everyone I knew and some I didn’t about Him and His Kingdom. Long and short, I hope to enter full-time ministry soon.
Please let me switch gears, stop talking about me and tell you what I hope the website will do for people. Let me start by posing a question: What is a church? For some it is a group of believers meeting together; for others there has to be a physical building with stained glass. I tend to ascribe to the former rather than the latter. Church is less building and more people. The house church movement can attest to this. My personal feeling is that even if we are not physically together we can encourage one another, a good example: Paul’s letters, written to teach, correct and build up the church of Christ. That is what I hope this site will do. I would also like it to interactive, with conversing back and forth. God has used man’s creativity to promote His Kingdom, it is my hope he will use G.L.O.V.E. well.
