Happy New Year!

Incite is headed in a new direction for 2008. Craving commentary, I’ve devised a plan which will provide it—even if it is my own. Wishing to revive the discipline of preparing weekly sermons (much more to my own benefit than many of the intended recipients), I will post something each Sunday and then have the audacity to comment upon it during the week. Continuing my naïve belief in example as the best teacher, I will be actually doing what I encourage others to do: participate. The risk of monologue trumping dialogue is not, as far as I can see, any greater with this new format. To get us started, I’m concluding with my personal journal entry (plog?) from yesterday so that we ALL have something to comment on until Sunday.

A new day in a new year with the promise of new life; what if I somehow managed to let the Christ be born in my life this Christmas? Is such a thing really possible? What in my life would change if it were? What will I start doing differently? Will anyone but me be able to tell? Will I able to tell? Are there others? How many?
