Brainstorming

Ok. Here are some ideas for what could happen here.
1. Guys could post here. They would have to sign up for a free blogger account.
2. We could print a monthly newsletter based on the blog contents to distribute in church both for the benefit of guys that are not comfortable using the internet and new guys that are not aware of the mens group or the blog.
3. give a class or classes in how to use the blog and/or email and/or internet
4. i could print up/email information on how to use the blog or put up a post right here on how to use it.
5. keep it simple, stupid

Restart

OK. This blog is back by popular demand. But first, one ground rule: There are no rules... yet!
I discontinued posting to this blog because it had become a chore for me and not achieving my intended result which was to foster more discussion and interaction among the men of the men's group between Saturday meetings.
A couple weeks ago, I was talking to Dikart and John K. who told me that they missed the blog and would like to see it start up again.
They had some good input which I will get into at some point but for right now I just want to throw this thing open to you guys. What do you want out of this? What are your ideas? As for me, it has to be a joy not a job so I'm just going to post what's on my heart (Christianese for mind) rather than a formal summary of what went on at each Saturday's meeting. I'm done for now. I'll post some ideas later and if you want to do some brainstorming with me, leave a comment.
