Naming a blog is a difficult thing. How do you come up with something catchy and clever, yet describes a bit about who you are and what the blog site is going to be about? I asked my friends and co-workers, and received several suggestions that I can print: The Doctor Is In (no, too medical sounding), Coffee Break (sounds like a great thing to do, but not necessarily a great blog name), Evanjuliecal (okay – this was from my 12 year old son… extremely clever! He used my name in the middle of a “churchy” word. He is brilliant! But – no). Maybe something musical – except, what if I want to cover some non-music topics? Maybe some obscure Latin phrase – maybe not if I actually want anyone to read it! Finally, Exploring Worship – ah, yes! That will do nicely.
You see, it describes who I am and what this blog will be about; and since I believe that all of life is worship, I have just given myself permission to blog about anything! But seriously, this will be a place to discover and discuss, to investigate and become familiar with worship; a place where the adventure of church and life intersect; and hopefully a place where our passion for God will be nourished.
So grab your gear – don’t forget your binoculars! And let’s get ready to explore!
Blessings,
Julie

Glad to have you out in the blogosphere with the rest of us! Along with my binoculars would you suggest that I pack my Paschal candle…oh wait, we sent the stand off for repair…
