1 year old!

Today One Christian Dad turns 1 year old.  Uh…the blog, not me.  I am 35…and a bit.  But the blog is a year old!  Here is a self appreciating picture of a birthday cake… 🙂

Sometimes it is hard to believe it has been a year, other times it feels like 10 years.  I have grown leaps and bounds through this blog.  I have met people I never would have met.  I have been challenged, and have challenged others.  It has been a blessing to me, and I hope that you have been blessed by it as well.

People ask me what my goal is through this blog.  It is simply this: that the love of Jesus, the grace of the Father and the comfort of the Holy Spirit would be made known to all.  I want all people to have what I have been given. My hope through this blog, above all, is that God would be glorified, and you would be built up in the faith.  In all things Soli Deo Gloria.

1 Peter 1:3-9
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade-kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire-may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
