Blogging about blogging

​I really am starting to enjoy this website and the blogging feature. Now I am not a good blogger. I tried my hand at it for a brief time blogging about woodworking with only handtools in Costa Rica. I just found it to be to much work to keep up with and to try to fill the blog with good conten, it just wasn't there. As I have been writing updates on our ministry I  noticed a different desire which helped me to realize why that first blog didn't go anywhere. Plane and simple I didn't have a true passion for that blog i.e. woodworking. I love woodworking, especially with only handtools but it is not my first and foremost passion, which is why that blog never went anywhere and shouldn't have gone anywhere. My passion, as a child of God, is to live for the glory of God in service to Him. I have the great priviledge and honor to serve Him in Costa Rica. That is my purpose in life, and if anything else interferes with that purpose or tries to take its place it must be removed. That is why I am glad the woodworking blog never went anywhere, that is not why I am here to build furniture, which I love to do. I am here to glorify God. I can use furniture making as a way or means to which I glorify God but it can only be a means and not my main purpose. So as I was able to build this website and start this blog a passion to communicate that very purpose, glorifying God, has really been building lately. I am not blogging to generate followers or build income or such but to glorify God. As my family and I prepare to head back to Costa Rica I have the opportunity to spend some quality time with God as I study His word and prepare messages to be preached. when we return. One of the things in Costa Rica we deal with is helping the people have a true understanding of God's word, to help them "rightfully divide the word of God.." What I learned in seminary helped me greatly in learning that art and I try passionately with God's help to instruct others to do the same. One professor taught me how to ask the right questions when approaching scripture and I have to say it was one of the greatest lessons I ever had. That is what I try to teach the Costa Ricans and that is what I would like to do in this blog as well from time to time. Help those who never had any biblical training to be able to approach God's word correctly and to know how to ask the right questions. How to develop the art of observation. I am not saying I am perfect but I have learned a thing or two over the years. So periodically I hope to challenge others through this blog, as well as updating you all, in you manner of studying God's word. Some may find this helpful some may not., but in the end my prayer is that God will be glorified through this. Take care all, keep  us in your prayers,, and always live for the glory of God.
