Well hello there and welcome to my inaugural blog post! I think I'll
take this first post to expand a bit more on what this blog is all
about. It started back in May, although perhaps it really started almost
a year before hand, but we'll leave that be. It started because a
wonderful person from the church I attend, as the youth leader no less,
asked me about my confirmation. Erm, awkward - I was never confirmed.
I've pondered the why's and the why not's of this, but alas that's a
subject also best left untouched, for now.
So. My flirtation
with the idea of confirmation culminated in a meeting this summer with
the gracious Gaye Sharpe. There it was decided that I, being a fledgling
(wannabe?) writer, should get my blog on and write. And so here we are,
me, the writer, exploring, imploring, perhaps even destroying and
rebuilding, and you, the reader, along for the ride. You may be a member
of my own community since birth, or perhaps a perfect stranger, but
fundamentally, you are a participant in this adventure.
So
Hanna, what exactly will you be talking about? I'm glad you asked. We'll
start with "Church, Why Bother?". As a youth group leader I feel the
very baseline question of why one should even cast the covers aside
before 10:00 am on Sunday morning needs to be relevantly addressed. From
there, we'll touch on scripture, experience, and tradition through a
myriad of rivetingly delicious topics.
Until we meet again,
- Hanna
