Yeah. "Hello, world!" and all that.

I have some free webspace, and I wanted to put it to some good use.

I thought a good idea would be to set up a blog for use by the guys in my Monday night life group. We'll see where it goes. I'd love for this to be an opportunity for us to connect with one another throughout the week. We don't necessarily have to connect on a theological point. Just having a virtual den to hang out in and bat stuff back and forth would be nice, I think.

I miss you all, but basketball is going great. We are covering the 10 Commandments each week in depth, 1 at a time and having great discussions. On my team is a great group of guys from different backgrounds. Of note to me, is a young man named Cory who does not go to church but is enjoying our Bible Studies and playing basketball. I am really praying for the right words and way to approach him each time. Also, I will be mentoring a young man named Luis, who battles some mental issues, but is a great guy. Thank you for the prayers and hopefully more successes are to follow! God Bless,

Issam.

I got to thinking about something . . .

The "about me" link on the side bar was there by default - it came with the installation. I could probably duplicate it and make a link for anyone else that would like one. I can just change the text to reflect our individual names instead of just saying "about me."

Also, if you guys have any specific websites you want to add to the blogroll, let me know and I can put them in there.
