New Blog

After much prayerful thought, I've decided to start a separate blog to comment weekly on current issues in the news. I realize that some may scoff at the idea of me creating a new blog when I've hardly been able to keep this one updated. This is, however, something that I believe the Lord has led me to do.

After writing my last post (Finally Some Good News), I felt like there might be a better forum for these types of commentaries. Therefore, I have created The Lambert Commentary, which can be accessed at:

http://thelambertcommentary.blogspot.com/

I have since moved the comments of my previous post to this new blog (and I've edited and expanded them slightly). It is my hope to update this new blog every Monday. If you see something there that you feel is worthy of passing along to others, please do so. And please leave your comments. I want to know what others are thinking.

In the meantime, I will continue to use the Pastor's Blog to keep folks informed on what is going on at EFBC. OK, continue might not have been the best word to use. I will begin to keep folks informed about what's going on at EFBC.

Which reminds me, don't forget our Spring Revival is less than two weeks away: May 6-9 with Pastor Mike Owens.

I've Been Put To Shame

OK, I admit it. I'm now the worst offender among my small group of blogging friends when it comes to updating. My buddy Jeff has updated his blog in the last week; twice in two days to be exact. That leaves me with a sinking feeling in my stomach.

It's kind of like when I was growing up, we would always pass by a certain family's house on the way to church. They were wonderful friends and fellow church members, so for privacy purposes, we'll just call them the Doe family. Most Sundays we'd always see their car in the carport and know that, just like every other Sunday, they were going to be late again. But on those rare occasions when we would pass by and see that their car was already gone, my mom would exclaim, "Oh Shane, we're running really late. The Doe's have already left for church!"

And today I kind of feel like my mom used to feel when the Doe's would beat us to church. Jeff, you've put me to shame. I've actually considered resigning from the blogosphere, but then I thought, "who would notice given my recent track record?" So rather than cut and run, I've decided to write this post and ask for forgiveness from those few who actually have kept checking in the hopes that I had updated. I'm sure you've come to expect nothing new, but I thank you for continuing to come back.

I actually have quite a bit that I need to blog about, and I will be posting something new in a day or two to kind of catch up.

In the meantime, please keep the families of the shooting victims and everybody at Virginia Tech in your prayers. What a horrific, senseless act of violence.

In spite of this, I hope everyone is having a great week.

Bro. Shane
