A question that I get asked from time to time is “Why do you blog?”  Well, there are multiple reasons not the least of which is idea stewardship, but I ran across this post and thought I would share it here.  I think that as you peruse this list you will have a better understanding of why I have encouraged all of the various Dept. leaders at Pentecostals of OC to blog.
