Yes, I actually had one! I made a thought! I can think! (Don't worry, it won't last :P)

So at any rate, a couple of Google Buzz posts got me thinking about how much we talk about HW. Anytime I'm with my brother and my friend, Suiauthon, it's what we talk about. We talk about it so much that our parents/family members know what HW is, they know who Jay is, they know Kaitlyn, and they know a bunch of the other people, too.

Basically, we talk about it so much that what we talk about is absorbed by people who've never even stepped onto the site in their life. We are so into this website that it defines our conversation when we're around people. It is a huge part of our life.

And...I started thinking about that. Simply by our presence and our enthusiasm to talk about HW, other people have learned about it. We recommend the website to people and encourage them to get on it. We're the biggest reason the forum is growing: word of mouth.

Shouldn't...we apply the same enthusiasm to the gospel?

I'm not faulting anyone here, nor blaming anyone. But...if HW is clearly so important to us, isn't all of the above a good picture of how enthusiastic we should be in sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ? I love HW as much as the next guy; more, probably ;) But I have to say that the gospel trumps it in importance.

So, there's my thought. And my challenge. Let's be as enthusiastic and overflowing about the gospel as we are about HW. If we are, I think we'll see the Christian Church explode just like HW has been :)

I like that thought. :D And, as well as regular joyfulness and telling others about salvation, why not tell some of our non-Christian-internet friends about Jesus? I know a lot of us are on non-Christian forums as well. Why not spread the gospel over the internet, too?

*nods * This is always something I have to be careful about. I'm passionate. That spreads to lots of things, but I always have to watch that I don't let my other passions take over my first passion, the one that drives the rest. Thanks for the reminder, Andrew!

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
