Garfield hits home

This morning's comic strip Garfield struck home with me. Cartoonist Jim Davis portrayed Jon, the cat's owner (yeah, right!), complaining that he gets no hits on his blog. 'You'd think someone out there would be interested!' he moans. Garfield puts him down in his typical sarcastic way. Well, I know how Jon feels, because I don't get a lot of response on this blog, either! Oh, well. I still think it's important for me to share my thoughts on faith matters and to invite the comments of others.

Maybe my approach isn't controversial enough, or sensational enough, or (uh-oh) insightful enough. I think there are lots of folks who don't yet have their spiritual moorings, who aren't really sure what they believe, who can't quite figure out their relationship with God. These are the folks I'd like to exchange ideas with. I have a lot to learn from them, and maybe I could share something of my own experience, too.

I'd also like to share with folks who are already committed Christians in thinking about how we can relate more effectively with those who consider themselves not to be.

So what about it? Anybody out there?
