I met a blogger today who has carved out quite a niche for herself in Christian blogging circles with her soul searching and thought provoking posts on church and self. Yes I met Messy Christian for the first time. I was wondering what would she be like ? reading other people's blogs is a bit like talking on the phone when you have not met in that you can build a picture of them in your mind. Often you are very surprised when you do meet you know ' you sound taller on the phone sort of thing'.
Having met two bloggers now though I find it is a bit different than that. We seem to have a feel for the person already from them having aired their thoughts on the net. And so far both have been true to their on-line personality - no chat room frauds here !
I suppose because I mostly read christian blogs that this is to be expected but even so in today's ever more cynical world it is still pleasant to find people who are not mis-respresenting themselves.
Anyway, well met MC, and I look forward to seeing more of you.
very encouraging that you did say it, I hope BLC will be as good for you as it has been for us, we will be shattered when my assignment ends and we have to move on. However it is part of the growth that God has put in front of us and the challenge will be for us to take BLC with us if you know what I mean ;-)
and yeah I don't bite (well not much anyway)

It was great meeting you too, DB! I was actually a bit nervous meeting you, believe it or not. (I think I'm always nervous meeting bloggers for the first time) I have no idea what to expect, and yeah, you're exactly like the personality of your blog.
Looking forward to this Sunday's service.
Can't believe I said that.
:D
