First Steps
After months of gentle nagging by loving family, staff and friends, I have agreed to join the blogosphere (the world of blogging). I’m not sure what a blog is supposed to be, but here is a general description of jamesloftin.com:
- Posts will be relatively short — less than 500 words.
- I will only occasionally include personal tidbits from the Loftin world – although my children and grandchildren will definitely appear in posts from time to time.
- I will include impressions, longings and questions about life as a Christ follower — How can we bring God glory by using our resources to make a difference in the world?
- I welcome comments, will read all responses and intend to respond within one week.
Wherever you are in your life journey, I am certain that you have something to teach me. I pray that my words encourage and challenge you. I pray that you laugh often, cry sometimes and are always moved toward living more faithfully in response to Jesus’ invitation.
I pray that my humble thoughts will cause you to pray for me, my family, and the ministry God has entrusted to us.
Ahh, my first steps in the world of blogging. You may now be thinking of old cliches like teaching old dogs new tricks or better late than never. True, but here I go.

Greetings James…I surely enjoy reading your ‘posts’….and will try to get Bobby to read them, (it’s hard to get him to the computer) You do have remarkable gifts and folks will look forward to reading your thoughts…(your English teacher would be very proud of you)
Dear James:
Our church want to support follow one. But I can not find how to give on your web site (mailing address, …). I may have to give through Mark or Eric at CUMC?
Thanks
