Alright.
We've made it through Lent. This blog has posted a discussional/devotional a total of 47 times in the previous 47 days. That's pretty cool, if you ask me. I hope you enjoyed them and got some spiritual growth out of it.
So, with that done, I'm used to posting on this blog on a very regular basis now, so I'm wanting to look to the future and see what else we can do here. I'll be posting weekly polls on the side of the blog to look at what we might be doing. I'd encourage all visitors to vote in the polls and leave their opinions either in the comments section or in an e-mail to me. Keep in mind, though, poll results are non-binding.
Also, if you've got other suggestions for things we can do on this blog to grow together and grow towards the followers Christ calls us to be, let me know those, too.
First poll is up now, and I'd like to gauge interest in an online book study. What I'd basically do is announce a book, ask anyone interested to get the book, and then we'd read it. I'd post a chapter-by-chapter or section-by-section post on thoughts on the book, and then we could discuss it via the comments section. This is somethings I really want to do, so let me know if you're interested. I've already got a few books in mind for it!

Purpose of this Blog
The purpose of this blog is to highlight and offer insight into the programming of Sigma Theta Epsilon on a national level.
The blog will contain what I call “Discussionals”. They will be something that is a hybrid mix of devotionals and discussions. I’ll try to prompt us with some scripture, some of my insight, and some questions, and then hope we can come together, as fellow workers with our God, to find the applications and implications for our lives individually and corporately. This takes the place of the monthly devotions that Shannon Wagers, who was National Vice President before me, posted on a regular basis on our online discussion boards.
It will also contain snippets about the programming theme, and other programming issues within the fraternity. I would love it if chapters would submit highlights to me so I could post updates of really good events, power uses of the fraternity for the work of God, and outstanding implementation of the Program Book (once it has been distributed, of course).
I will also, on occasion, post a link to an article or some other sort of thing that catches my eye, where I think deep thought and discussion on the article or topic might prove beneficial to going deeper in our program theme, our desire to be fellow workers, and/or our walks with Christ.
I invite participation from everyone. Active brothers of STE, pledges, alumni, honorary brothers, friends of STE, or people just curious as to what or why or how of a National Christian Fraternity. I just ask that we keep it civil, and PG-rated.
So come. Discuss with me. Deepen our walked together. Let iron sharpen iron. Let us become fellow workers on new, deeper levels. Let us understand each other and grow together.
