Built with Grace is the result of a spiritual pilgrimage that I’m in the process of taking, indeed each of us is in the process of taking. My particular journey is perhaps no different than yours. We grow up with all sorts of goals and dreams of what we want to be ‘when we grow up’. Once we get there, each of us is forced to look back at the road traveled to see our progress.
For some I suppose the road is fairly straight. For others, like myself, the road has a few bends, turns and detours. Some potholes mark the way and rivers had to be forded. There were obstacles that either needed to be removed or forced me to alter my path. In some cases that altered route made it difficult to return to the main road.
Built with Grace is my journey from having faith (in God) to losing faith (in myself) and learning how to reconcile the gap in between.
I have a passion for those like myself who find that being a Christ-follower is both the most rewarding and the most difficult venture a life can take. I have a story to share and I’d like to share it with churches, Bible Study groups, retreats and anyone that will listen.

Hello 🙂
I just spent some time exploring your blog and I love the messages you are sharing! I am organizing a blog tour event for Christian author John Beehner, featuring guest posts written by Christian authors, bloggers, entrepreneurs, and spiritual leaders. It starts Jan. 1st and I’d like to keep it going as long as possible. Articles are centered around the theme of “Freedom” (this can be any kind of freedom- spiritual, economic, physical, political, etc.) Please peruse his blog at askwisecounsel.blogspot.com and let me know if you’d be interested in participating.
Thanks and God bless,
Megan

Megan, I am EXTREMELY embarrassed. I was doing some long overdo updates on my blog and noticed that somehow your post was completely missed….like 8 years ago! Please accept my apology for being so unintentionally rude.

Great stuff! So glad I found you, and I also hope I can connect with some of those who also enjoy your comments. Often I discover that people who comment on my site are smarter and better people than I am!

Don, congratulations. You finally found someone who is NOT smarter or better than you! 🙂 Thanks for your words. The past two months have been a whirlwind and I’m just now trying to put the pieces together. Hope to communicate with you more in the future! God Bless your weekend.

Very Welcome Karina. I love to write myself but with schedules the way they get I’m finding real blessing in sharing what God has given you and others in my ‘blogging family’. It was also a very ‘big coincidence’ that I spoke last Sunday on the Centurion! You fit in perfectly. B Blessed!

Mike, your blog really connected with me. Thanks for visiting my own at http://www.callowchristian.com. I’m not a pastor, just a guy trying to bring Jesus out into my own life, but your words offer great encouragement. God bless you.

Thanks for your kind words. Glad our blogs have helped each other! Like you I’m just doing my best at following Jesus. Pastor just happens to be a title! B Blessed!
