As technology progresses, new words sprout up each day. Words like “Google,” “IM,” and “blog” are just a few that have become a part of everyday conversations. Google is pretty well known, and IM stands for “instant messenger,” but what is a blog?

Define: Blog
A blog, derived from "Web log," is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order.
Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. Most blogs combine text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic, and also many times allow readers opportunities to leave comments on the blog.

New Hope Blogs
We are excited to launch four new blogs that will provide great information, as well as an opportunity for YOU to interact with the bloggers.

A popular contributor to the “blogosphere” is Pastor Rod Shimabukuro.

Pastor Rod is the Equipping Director of New Hope and his blog “Equipping Thoughts” has a focus on doing just that: equipping. The first entry explains how important healthy relationships are and gives eight practical points of how to show people that they are truly valued.
