Ay, There 's The Rub

Both our church men and women eGroup-blogs are now on-line. It was a pleasure of my helping both eGroup moderators to set up the blogs. Smoky and Pat, our church moderators for the men's and woman's eGroups, respectively, are very proficient with computers and the internet scene. Whereas the former has a good grasp of the blogging mechanics and "places for widgets", the latter has gone beyond blog-keeping and chores. She has turned the site into a fellowhship home true to the sense of the word internet for the women who joined.

These first eGroup men pioneers, including the moderator, might not be into much nurturing and support topical discussions. We shall see. The women, on the other hand, are very comfortable with this medium for devotions and fellowship. In fact, they are already asking about the quickest way or ways to view comments and expedite responses and prayers.

To the women eGroup, the blog is the "happening." The men, on the other hand, are still milling about the water's edge. They wrote comments like, "is this place (the blog) where we give feedback instead by email?" Or, "I am lost (in the blog). Can someone find me?" That's the fellas for ya.
