Just Getting Started - "Pardon the Dust"

I am 100% new to blogging.  So far, I am very uncertain as to how to set-up a blog, make it work, or anything.  This the title, "Pardon the Dust," here in the USA is a typical slogan used at construction and remodeling sites of "brick and mortar" (as opposed to on-line) businesses to beg pardon for a temporary mess (such as my early posts are bound to be).  This first entry is "dust."  Just clutter as it were to test how things work and to give me an idea of what format to use, the potential and limitations of the tools this service provides, and what I can really offer to readers that may eventually be of interest etcetera.


So, until I can come up with a real and meaningful topic, please pardon this dust.  Hopefully it will soon pass away.  It will if blog pages can be deleted and replaced with something really worth reading.


FYI, I started this blog to be able to communicate with another blogger.  Their site uses this same service from Google.  In order to talk I had to have a website or blog site too.  But now that I think about it, it would be rather nice to have a real blog of my own; not just a "Bogus" one as a front to talk to Paul.
 

What do I plan to do with it?  Well, first off, my church desperately needs a single coordinated calendar uniting the many diverse published and non-published events from all the local ministries to children and youth in the church, on campus, and in the community.  I tried to get this in place through the IT/media department, but after a year of committees and personal communication I hit so many technical roadblocks that I am not sure we will ever have an official unified calendar.  People liked the idea, but no one could figure out how to do it from a practical standpoint.  However, Lord willing, perhaps we can have a personal "unofficial" substitute that will be almost as good.  Beyond that, I may occasionally have a few things to say about the passion the Lord has given me for both children's and family ministries based on Malachi 4:4-6 and related passages; other topics too perhaps, but that is open to further thought.


Well, now you have seen a little stirring of the dust; that is, now you have an idea of one possible direction this blog may take.  You now can decide whether to check back on the progress of this new construction if this is of any interest to you.  Or you can just use it as an alternate means of communication with me, if, that is, I can get those apps in place and functioning here.  Your prayers are implored.  Thanks.
