Based on your comments from the surveys we received last Sunday, we are going to make some changes on the web log. First, your posts are no longer going to be reviewed by the staff. The delay this review causes seems to limit both comments and interaction. All we ask is that you keep your comments relevant to the day’s readings and/or postings. Second, you do not need to enter your name if you care to be anonymous. This may help some feel a freedom to join in. If you don’t want to be known just enter “withheld” in the name box.

You will notice in my post below I have not really offered my thoughts; rather I have raised a few questions from today’s text in John. It is my hope that many would respond to the questions and give us their thoughts. This is my attempt to make today a bit more of a dialogue rather than a monologue. I hope you will join in. Thanks,
Brett

This month we have had over 1000 hits on the Disciplines of Grace website, for that we are thankful. We have noticed, though, that not many people are leaving thoughts or comments. We have included the comments area for asking questions and to encourage discussion. Remember, you don’t need to write anything lengthy or profound. I am going to ask you to do us a favor… take a moment to respond to the site (on this post) and tell us how journaling is going for you? Let us know if it is making a difference in your walk with Jesus and how. Your willingness to share will encourage us all. Thanks,
Brett

We are happy to report that you can share your journal entry with everyone here as well! The First Baptist staff will usually only discuss one of the scripture readings from the day, but you can talk about any scripture from the reading on that day. The current technology we are using to power this blog does not allow everyone to create posts, however, so your entries will need to be placed in the comments section of that particular day.
We are very happy to hear what you have to say and it will be exciting for readers to learn your thoughts on the other passages from the day. Keep up the great work everyone and many thanks to those who have contributed!

About how the site is organized
On the right side of the page you will notice the navigation bar. It is broken down into several categories. Post’s are archived by the month in which they are posted. This appears under “Archives.” Posts are also organized into categories. You can click on a category to see each post that fits that category.
