I am interested in finding out what kind of blog posts you (members at Gracepoint Fellowship Church in Berkeley) would like to see more of. Can you comment on this and let me know?
1) Humor
2) Devotion Sharing
3) About my life
4) Other (give suggestions)
2 and 3. I would like to hear more about your life and devotion sharing. If it is a choice of only one then I would take 2.
all of the above.
I’d like all 3
Option #2. Thanks.
I would like to read more about your life and devotion sharing.
1st choice: 2
2nd choice: 3
Thank you.
2 (1st choice) and 3 (2nd choice)
1
3
2
2 & 3. Thanks for all your sharing!
I would like to see more of 2 and 3, since we already have disgracepoint for humor.
1 and 3
2 & 3
Thanks for asking, P. Ed!
I’d like to see more of 3 and occasionally 4 – 4 being, some sharing about the lower points of your spiritual walk, struggles that you fought through, or perhaps have seen others fight through, that perhaps don’t even have a neat resolution, but that can help us be encouraged in and wrestle through our own struggles – or be more emboldened to share about them, having seen that others have gone through them too.
2 and 3
2
2 & 3
3: more about how your experiences and life and how you’ve applied the Bible to them
Humor!
choice 3 and 2
3
I agree with Maurice. It would be nice to hear more about the “broken” side of you, more than the “I can’t wake up in the morning” type of struggles… I would find that refreshing and a way to know that you’re human like the rest of us. [...]
2 and 3. it would also be neat to see 4 – your hopes and visions for our church, maybe dreams of the different kinds of ministries you’d love our church to be able to do someday (like you sometimes mention in your messages).
Humor! I really like the TMI story about the cockroaches… haha. Devotionals & more about your life are my 2nd & 3rd choices.
1st choice: 3
2nd choice: 2
thanks!
I prefer 3. Then 2. I love the stories from your childhood and your commentaries about various life.
1 & 3 please!
Pastor Ed, I like 1 and 3!!
definitely 2 & 3.
1 About your life
2 Devotion sharing
3 Other stuff (like story of mistakes you made, struggles etc)
4 Humor
I would vote for 2, 3 and 4 – 4 being similar to maurice – different struggles and low points and how you specifically got through them, how you experienced God, etc.
Thanks!
3 and 4 (What Maurice said.)
I think you should vary between the first 3. I think all of them, even the humor sections, are helpful to getting to know you better and learning what the actual life of an older and more mature Christian looks and looked like. And it’s also helpful for those newer to our church to get an idea of what kind of person and leader you are.
2, then 3.
3 for me
All 4, but love the DT sharing!
I totally like your funny stories!
And I also second Maurice’s reply.

1,2,AND 3 – but especially 2.
Devotion Sharing
1 & 2 please…
1
all 3! I also like the idea of hearing about your struggles. it would help us understand what makes you who you are.
3 and 2
2 and 3!
Hey Pastor Ed, I’d like to hear more about your life, struggles, thoughts, emotions, perhaps how God has changed you during those times. Thanks!
2 & 3
more about you please
2 and 3
Hi Pastor Ed –
3, please!
i’d prefer 3, then 2. thanks for all your sharing!
2 – 3 – 4 (in no particular order)
4 – your thoughts on current events?
I think I don’t want 1 because we have mindless entertainment through disgracepoint. Like people go there looking for a laugh and not much more. But this doesn’t mean you can’t be funny or witty in your posts here
I like DT sharings like “More and More” from Kelly SMN because it also gives the reader a look into her personal life, like her family.
3. about your life, and 4. i agree w/ maurice about lows and how you’ve gone through them, and about personal visions that you’ve had throughout your life, like when you mentioned about youth church, or starting a school.
2 and 3
devotionals
3
Hi Pastor Ed! I’d like to see all three (choices 1, 2, 3)! And for #4 Other – life lessons would be nice. Thanks!
2 and 3.
2, 3, then 1
3, then 2 or 1.
all of the above.
#4 – something along the lines of messages/sharings with us re: Xian living – what it looks like to honor God with our money, how to share the gospel with our co-workers, etc. I guess these would be woven into the other three, but maybe more on the practical side, and sharing from your experience in these areas.
Thanks!
THREE PLEASE – Like to hear about you, your life, your friends, etc.
And I agree w/ some other posts about your heart and vision for this church.
i’d like to see more of 3 then 2
2 and 3 please.
I second Maurice’s comment!
1 and 3
Devotion sharing
Personally I want to hear more stories about your life. That would be my top choice. That’s probably the one thing that I can’t get from anywhere else. (#3)
I also like Maurice’s suggestion. (#4)
Also if you post visions. Like things you would like to see done one day but can’t do due to lack of time / resources, but possibly one of us could take up that vision ourselves. That would be neat. (#4)
And of course I’m a big fan of the occasional joke or story. While we do have disgracepoint, I think any unique stories or jokes are still appreciated. =) (#1)
ditto maurice’s comment. voting for #3 and #4.
i find it especially helpful to hear illustrations during the message in order to understand some parallel or to process the message… maybe you could write general topics on life and christian race with those kinds of illustrations?

1 & 3
option 3
2 and then 3
Thanks!
3 and 2
definitely 1 and 3
2 and 3
I would like 3, then 2. Thanks!
Hi Pastor Ed, I vote for 3. I think hearing about your life and the wisdom, lessons learned, etc… would be great to read. I think there’s a lot of Devotion and Humor throughout your life. It’s kind of like the times you just share stories in the living room about your life and things you learned and even “how things used to be”.
3
3 then 2
2 (first choice)
3 (second choice)
you can include humor in your blogs
1| About Your Life
2| Devotion Sharing
Mostly 2 or 3 would be best.
3, 2
2 & 3 for me!
1, 2, 3, and 4 (diagrams/illustrations that are either insightful or humorous, like we occasionally see during your messages)
3! and 4 – maybe some commentary on current events…
3 then 2!
Anything at all, Pastor Ed! 1, 2, 3, 4…
You are such a good storyteller, though, so I love any sort of stories you write, esp. the “immigrant experience” genre.
2 and 3, I think they are both kind of related because its during Dt that you are able to reflect on your life. I am open to hear just whatever is on your mind I think what I enjoy the most is just the plain honesty whether it be a funny or painful story of your past.
1 & 2 for me
2 and 3. and day to day life lessons as you pastor Gracepoint FEllowship Church. thx!
2! This can be an awesome resource for bible study teachers.
Then 1 – so that I can post more stuff on Disgracepoint Fellowship Church.
3!
3 > 2 > 1
Hi Pastor Ed,
I agree with Daniel (post more devotion sharings), but then, since everyone will be reading it, we Bible teachers won’t be able to use it!
in order of importance:
3 & 2- both help us know you better & teach us about life
1- because life is tough & a good laugh relieves stress & good humor is hard to come by..
can you post more frequently, pastor ed?
pls post new frequently!
