"For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salavtion through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.Therefore encourage one another and build each other up,..." [1THESSALONIANS 5:9-11a]

Before I began typing this, there was a notice: "THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION"!! That means I am "building" a webpage for the first time!!! It has caused me to wonder and to ask . . . WHAT IS INVOLVED IN "BUILDING"?!?

I can't conceive of doing any building without IMAGINATION; imagination is the fire that causes it all to percolate, bubble, and boil! (Hopefully, this page and this websight have some of that fire of imagination!!)

Also, from my vast experience in the area of not really knowing what I am doing, I have come to believe that it is important to have a degree of KNOWLEDGE when building. It is the precious silver that helps build that which is smooth and shiny!! (Again, it is hoped that some silver of knowledge can be mined here!!)

There must be something to build on, a FOUNDATIONupon which the building rests or the solid starting point from which building begins!!! (I assume my grounding to be in the love that God has revealed and shared in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus!!)

And finally, it seems to me, all building has to be involved with GROWTH; what is built should not just sit there, but must lead one to experience or ponder something deeper, fuller, or more real!!!!

Whether it be in this first webpage or in every conversation or in whatever task, I hope that the ingredients of IMAGINATION, KNOWLEDGE,FOUNDATION, and GROWTH mix and mingle so that the amazing (and even miraculous) happens . . . by God's working!!
 
 

Let us know what you are "building" and what we might do to help in that "construction" . . . SEND FEEDBACK!!!!
