Launch Sequence and Blog Name

Well, here I am attempting to launch another blog. I will be attempting to make this a weekly habit. This will be a place for me to throw out ideas on faith, thoughts about my life, and thoughts about ministry. I hope that this will come to be a place where my students can find solace, laughs, and conversation about faith. I hope that it can become an outlet for me to bounce my thoughts out here on the web and see people's thoughts in return. The idea for the title of my blog came from thinking about our youth ministry logo. The idea of the logo and the wording I have used to describe it, is hopefully what is going in in each one of us. In a lot of ways, I see our faith as atomic. With an atom, there is a nucleus of protons and neutrons that make up its core while electrons are constantly circling. There is an energy represented in an atom that is the kind of model that our lives should look like. With Christ and the cross at our core, we have a constant source of energy and strength that should be driving our lives and our faith. An atom is the fundamental building block of matter, just as faith is the fundamental building block of our spiritual journey. Without the atom there would be no matter, without faith their would be no journey. We are all on a spiritual journey that is driven by an atomic faith. May we walk this journey with the energy and joy that comes from Christ in the center of our lives.
