Purpose

Many of you feel that Cec and I are preaching to the choir. I suppose we are, and I must admit the positive feedback is heartening. Then there are the trolls who believe that every blog in the universe was created exclusively for their entertainment. Trolls will always be among us. That's fine. If they have no life I guess blogging is better that holding up C stores.

However, there are two other groups out there, and there may be only one or two in each group whom I wish to reach at some level. The first group contains those who are walking the narrow line between truth and fiction, who may have been sucked into the feelgood, do-gooder atmosphere of the greater number. "Let's all stick together and get this church going again." It all looks just and holy and worthy. Consider the tactics. As I said in an earlier post, watch your backs. Please continue reading this blog. Comments are optional; diligence is mandatory.

Lastly, you who lurk in the shadows, feeling vastly superior to all of us, but who may visit Zion Beckons to see what the great unwashed are up to. It gives me great pleasure to be the burr under your saddle. Please know that there are those of us out here who are onto you.

I have a tendency to come off either nasty or melodramatic. It's been pointed out to me more than once. Oh well. I'm not looking for the Miss Congeniality Award, although I'm really a very nice person. But don't mess with my church. Don't change the doctrine, don't remove the Epitome of Faith, don't sneak around and meet with those who fell into apostasy decades ago. Don't pretend your are speaking for all the Saints when you have your little closed-door sessions. Our little rag tag group—to borrow the delightful expression from my friend Steve—will prevail because our Lord will prevail. God hasn't changed. Neither should His church.

We're not looking for large numbers. We're hoping to reach a few and this seems the best way to do it. Cec is back from the Odessa reunion and has a lot to say. He'll be posting later.

One final note to you trolls and lurkers: please don't use specific names when firing your darts. Your comments will be rejected. We're more lenient than many, but naming names is not appropriate. You may direct your comments to someone if you feel the need, but please don't talk about someone. Thank you.

God bless all of you. Please pray for each other.
