First Birthday

Today, mattamesblogs.com turns one-year-old.  I launched this blog last year on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  It was one day before the Presidential inauguration.  I had a variety of topics to share that day and in the days to come on the abstract and concrete.

One of the highlights of this blog thus far was having Kem Meyer spend some time here on her book tour for Less Clutter. Less Noise.  Kem is a Communications professional, and is currently Communications Director for Granger Community Church in Indiana–just one example of the many jobs that makes a church or ministry effective. 

It’s been great sharing my thoughts with you over the past year as this blog community has grown.  Short of posting on social networks like MySpace and Facebook, this is becoming the longest I’ve let an independent blog last, as stated last week.  

If you look back on archived posts, you will find a wide variety of things on my mind, and I hope you will always have to look no further than the front page to find something that gets you thinking, inspires you and leads you to take further action.  There’s a world out there that needs you, and a God who loves you more than you can ever imagine.  I pray you will be pointed to both. 

Now that the pressure of making it to the one-year mark is behind me, I can’t wait to move forward with you and see what all we can accomplish and dialogue about (I’m always open for suggestions). 

Right now, I want to pray for you: 

Father, whoever comes here and reads what is written, may they always be able to find You in the midst of it.  It is my desire to give You the glory, and for people to connect with the love You have for them.  Please keep all receptive hearts moving closer to You.  May we reach the world by first reaching for You and then letting You lead us.  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.
