The sounding board is the part of a string instrument (like a piano) that transmits the vibrations of the strings to the air, greatly increasing the loudness of sound over that of a string alone. It is also a generic name for a group of people bouncing ideas off of each other. This blog gives me a chance to “sound” things out loud and I hope I will be amplified by our interaction.

Video Week begins
Every day this week (ok - four days, but a week sounds better), I have set up a video to be posted on my blog of my son. Enjoy #1.

A Better Definition of Faith
"Faith is conviction of truth, one so deep that, far from believing without knowing, faith always seeks knowledge. It is always willing to face the evidence, entertain doubt, and inquire as far as truth may lead it" (19).
Dykstra, Craig. Growing in the Life of Faith (2nd Edition). Louisville, KY: Westminster John Knox Press, 2005.
What a wonderful expression of our faith. So often Christians are portrayed as closed-minded and with a forget-the-facts mentality and are not taken seriously. If we began to have a faith like Dykstra defines it, I believe we would gain more respect and be better, deeper Christians because of it.
