Michael L. Parks

For a little over a year, I have been thinking about beginning a blog. Today, I am finally taking the first step of what I hope is a wonderful journey. Blogs are a great way for people to creatively express their thoughts, hopes, desires, and frustrations. It is my hope and prayer that this endeavor will not only allow me the opportunity to impart my thoughts but also allow me to hear the many ideas of people around the country, or even the world.

If you don’t know me, let me briefly fill you in. I am the Youth & Family Minister for the Garriott Road church of Christ in Enid, Oklahoma. I am 12 days from my 1 year anniversary with this wonderful congregation. As a Christian and full-time minister, this blog will focus on the Christian life and my thoughts about church and ministry.

Besides ministry, I also enjoy music, sports, and cooking. I also enjoy reading and watching television shows which deal with these interests. From time-to-time, I may attempt to squeeze those into the mix.

In the meantime, let me suggest some other blogs for you to check out. These are some of the blogs which I enjoy reading.

Stuff Christians Like

Stuff Christians Like is a blog about the funny things we Christians do and what they just might reveal about our faith. The site is written by Jonathan Acuff, a preacher’s kid/copywriter who lives in Atlanta with his wife and two kids.

West Coast Witness

This is the blog of Wes Woodell, a campus minister in San Francisco.

TreyMorgan.Net

Trey is a Christian husband and father, who moonlights as the minister for the church of Christ in Childress, Texas. This blog contains his thoughts about marriage, family, raising children, humor, faith and the life God intended for us all.

Donald Miller

Donald Miller is the author of such books as Blue Like Jazz and A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. Donald provides a unique and challenging perspective on the Christian life. He is also one of my favorite authors.

If you have a favorite blog or even a blog of your own, let me know about it! Tell me about them in the comments. I look forward to sharing in this journey with you!
