Welcome!

This blog is an attempt to create an online conversation about the material we are reading each day. So far about 50 people have signed up for the Seeds project, so it's an exciting prospect...

Conversation could be helpful for a variety of reasons...

Thomas wrote these devotions more than 500 years ago. Perhaps some of his ideas or perspectives need to be adapted or translated into our context and experience in 2008. I think the relevance of his ancient writings will shone through, but there may be times when we struggle to grasp his insight. Or we may simply disagree with Thomas. But conversation will give us an opportunity to share the struggle to understand.

Also, conversation will aid in our reflection. Others may hear or grasp things that we glanced over.

Finally, a shared conversation will allow us to celebrate the discoveries and the growth.

So, as the seeds are planted, visit the blog and share some of your thoughts. I will, as my committment to the conversation, post a daily "conversation starter" on the blog. You are then invited to post a "comment" that will be visible to all other visitors... Let's read and reflect together!
