We hope that this will become our workspace for communication on this issue. <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"></span>Blog away!<br /><br />Some guidelines as you Blog.<br />If you are coming up with new ideas or proposals, <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">post</span> your blog rather than just giving a comment. That way, your ideas will be highlighted with headings. If you just comment, they will go under the Blog that is already posted.<br /><br />Well thought out - Piper on the Emotions of worship.
