A New Site for New Thinking

This blog is being fine tuned. Sometimes a thought has to be followed to its conclusion without worrying whether or not it is completely refined, or is even a candidate for the refining process. Working documents need a home of their own. So I offer this site, WorkingDocs. Because I have in mind the hope of starting an actual discussion with others about the works in progress, ideas, etc., the new site will also be geared toward finding others who wish to think about the liturgy, the church year, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

There will be no polemics at this blog: God Alone: Gethsemani Reflections, there might be at the Working Documents site, however I promise this: there will be no rancor, or shield thumping, or spear jabbing at either site, neither by me, or anyone else. The body of Christ is not meant to be hacked to pieces just so one side can pit its arguments against another side.

Dialog is both possible, and to be encouraged, yet without rancor, hurt feelings, and verbal attacks. What we all share in common should at all times be our focus. Jesus Christ, the son of the Living God, Co-Eternal with the Holy Spirit.

Look at that statement again.
What we all share in common should at all times be our focus. Jesus Christ, the son of the Living God, Co-Eternal with the Holy Spirit.
If we think about that statement long enough it becomes easy to understand how someone might intrude into that blissful reality, by insisting on some point or the other, to which we can only say, "I'm sorry, this is important how?"

The point of that little soapbox moment was to underline how important it is to focus ourselves on the central Supernova of our faith, Jesus Christ, and to treat one another as he would have us do. In the same spirit I offer the new site, not to replace this blog, but to be the home of thinking and working before writing on this page.

If anyone is interested, that is. If, or if not, God bless you.
