Sunday Dispatch #253


My Lord God
I have no idea where I am going.

I do not see the road ahead of me.

I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself,
and the fact that I think I am following
your will does not mean
that I am actually doing so.

But I believe my desire to please you
does in fact please you.
And I hope that I have that desire
in all that I am doing.

I hope that I will never do anything
apart from that desire.

And I know that if I do this
you will lead me by the right road
though I may know nothing about it.

Therefore I will trust you always
though I may seem to be lost
and in the shadow of death.

I will not fear,
for you are ever with me,
and you will never leave me
to face my perils alone.

Do you post these in The Goal is Soul as well, or just here? I think it may be fitting for both, or do you specifically have a reason for them being here.

Regardless...

Interesting dispartch.
Heh, guess what U2 song just comes on in my laptop mix?

Acrobat.

Very fitting, at least for me.

For Honor,

Thank you for your comments and question.

Im not sure why I first posted it here instead of
the Goal is Soul. I think it was because it was a
general discussion area for politics/religion.

I guess it could be posted in both forums.

Do you think that would be the best thing to do?

I started posting the Sunday Dispatch on the official
Creed site's Faith/Religion Forums about five years ago.
That board was later closed.

The name originated from a newsletter
I published for the iron horse coffee house and
bordercross Christian community.

We are still active
in our area and are restarting the coffee house next month.
A local church is allowing us to use their basement for free.

Back to the online Sunday Dispatch...

Right now it is posted on nine other boards...

Moby,Interference,Relevant, two boards on Creed and some others. I hope to expand to other boards as the doors open.

Through the years it has been on godsmack,Live, korn, megedeth,
and a brothel's board in Nevada....and a few others.

Unfortuanately, it was banned on some of these sites...
the others went away.

I'm glad this board and others allow for free speech and the expression of religious faith.

My plan is to keep posting Sunday Dispatch till the wheels fall off.

I am open to any suggestions/text for future Dispatches.


Again For Honor,

Thanks


Take care

No problem.

I suggested Goal is Soul because it's more religion orientated, but I don't know a whole lot about it.


CUrrently, it's not super active..... it's kind of slow. So, I suppose more people, at the moment, would see it here. However, I think more people may respond, or openly appreciate it, in Goal Is Soul.

But maybe if mod looks at this thread, or if you talk to one, they'll be able to give you better advice. However, I'm not trying to push you out of this forum or anything.


You are right, this is a general forum. Well, just keep posting them wherever is best, I guess


PS: I know the mods don't generally like posting the same content in a lot of places, but maybe if you had one specific thread in Goal is Soul dedicated to the Dispatches...
or something like that.

I don't really know the best answers, just trying to suggest something that might help out, or improve responses to your dispatches.

Hey man keep posting them. I may not agree with all of them, but I enjoy them being here. It's part of what makes FYM one of my favorite places outside of reality.
