11/11/11 – It’s a new look.  Let me provide a little direction for you readers in following this blog over the next year.

1.  First, I and a friend, Charles Barnes, are at the ground floor stages for the researching and the writing of a new book, entitled something like this, Jesus in Idaho Falls. (And who knows, this could be the first book of a trilogy, Jesus in Southeastern Idaho and Jesus in the I-15 Corridor.  But first things first.)  Hence, this is the reason for the blog theme look.

On the subject of Jesus in Idaho Falls, we are playing around with chapter subjects:

• In the beginning was the Word: the Creator
• Go ye into all the world: the appearance of the first missionaries
• The Indian, the white man, and Taylor’s Crossing
• The arrival of Rebecca Mitchell and civilization
• Early settlement and Christian organization
• Atomic Power and Spiritual Power
• The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other Restorationists
• Jesus, His mother, and the Holy Roman Catholic Church
• Mainline denominational establishments:  their history and traditions
• Christian parachurch ministries
• The evangelical churches in the City of destiny
• What is the future will of Jesus Christ for this town?

2.  But you will also continue to see posts related to these topics:

• Weekly windows into the worship and outreach at Berean Baptist
• Musings on Bible reading and prayer and short exhortations, exploring heart issues
• Sporadic announcements concerning teachings and events from other churches in Idaho Falls
• Missional intersection with our contemporary LDS culture
