This Internet is making me an Inter-nut!

Hello again to all my readers out there! Of course I don't have too too many yet (only a little more than 30 so far) but I have been looking into methods of increasing my visitor traffic flow so stay tuned for updates in that department.

The Internet truly is a marvelous thing, as I have recently been discovering; in addition to posting this blog of mine and bridging adversity post by post, I have recently been browsing a variety of other sites for my edification. There are literally MILLIONS and MILLIONS of webpages out there. It's fascinating to me to be standing before this world that before I had never known; because that is truly what the Internet is, a whole new world. But luckily, it is a world with plenty of bridges to this world, such as the fact that a whole lot of those webpages are devoted to that's right: Christianity.

It's wonderful to see so many Churches with webpages of their own, spreading the Word of God through a whole new medium. There is even a "Christianity.com." It's funny though: I searched for "Christianity" on Google.com (one of the biggest webpages for searching) and the first thing to come up wasn't Christianity.com but an Internet encyclopedia instead, and boy is it FULL of information about Christianity! It is called "wikipedia.com" and they have information about lots of other stuff too: it's just like a real encyclopedia, only faster to look things up!

In short, I am humbled and honored to be sharing my own thoughts and experience with Christianity with the world in the same way that so many other people and organizations are doing. In a few years I truly honestly believe that Christianity can take on a new movement with the new momentum provided by technology, if enough people stay convicted to the cause and keep on writin'.

I have never understood the people who seem afraid of modern trends in society, like the technology of the Internet, who say it goes contrary to God's Will. I don't believe that at all. I believe the Internet is a great tool for Christianity's use, and if it is used properly, it could lead to a new age of peace and love for Christ all around the world.

Here's happily hoping it happens!
