The Obligatory "I haven't posted" Entry

My original concept of this blog was to have a week-long discussion about the words of traditional hymns and gospel songs, authored not only by myself but by any readers who volunteered a contribution. I still think that would be a great thing, but I've realized that if I'm ever going to write anything here, I need to be able to let that original concept go.

I have had many thoughts over the last year concerning how God uses lyrics to work on my heart, and those thoughts have gone unwritten. So I will just move on with writing whatever is on my mind concerning hymn lyrics. However, I will probably expand into lyrics of more contemporary music more frequently than I originally intended. Our church congregation does sing traditional hymns, but the majority of our music is contemporary, so it's only natural that those songs are on my mind frequently. And this blog is going to be about the songs that are on my mind.

I would still love to have contributors. If you happen on this blog and would like to say something that would be rather more extensive than the comment space allows, then by all means contact me so that we can discuss including your entry here. I would be honored to receive your contributions of content.

I'm working on the re-boot entry now and hope to post by the end of the week. Meanwhile, let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.
