Nothing New Under the Sun

As I was reflecting today over this site and my desire for greater interaction and documentation of the learning process, it occurred to me that some might take this as people who think they have it all figured out or who think they are the first to think about all of this in this way.

I want to affirm this is not the case. Instead, I feel like Solomon, who says in Eccl. 1:9 “…there is nothing new under the sun.” God has been at work throughout all of history preparing a bride for Jesus. He has been at work building up the “body“ of Christ, the Church and He has graciously invited us to be a part of that.

I know better men have gone before us and are in it now than we are. My desire is not to lift up what we are doing or experiencing, but to mutually grow and develop as we interact over all that we are learning and experiencing. It is God who will lead us all in His way forward!

So let's make the most of this journey through partnering in it together!

Russell, I like this idea and apologize for not responding quicker. I'm glad that I don't have to have it figured out to post a blog.

I want to partner with you guys in this & will respond & post stuff as well.

Love, Brian

I agree with Brian. I think it has much potential - but it is taking me a bit to figure out where to sign in and how to post. I'm technically challenged.

A thought: I bet the wives would really utilize a place to post their thoughts on mothering, wiving and homeschooling, etc.
