Welcome to Go Beyond • Live Adventurously for God
My adventure with God started in high school. A Christian friend gave me a copy of the New Testament on February 19, 1973. I took that New Testament home and began to read it that same night and continued reading it every night. I was fascinated by the life of Jesus and by the lives of those who followed Him. The more I read, the more convicted I became that something was missing in my life. Within a matter of weeks, I heard a presentation of the gospel message. For the first time, I understood my sinful condition and my need for Jesus Christ. I repented of my sins and placed my faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.
This site is dedicated to reflections on my journey with Christ. As a Christ-follower, I believe that I have a personal responsibility to share (proclamation) and to show (incarnation) His love to others. As my schedule allows, I will record thoughts and insights I glean along the way. I hope you enjoy the site and that you will take a moment to offer your thoughts about what it means to Go Beyond — to forsake contentment and to continually “press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 2:14). And, I hope that you will live adventurously for God — daily taking the initiative to demonstrate His love to others in practical ways and intelligently articulating His message to a world in need, one person at a time.
May God bless you as you live adventurously for Him.
Blessings,

I got your twitter invite but I don’t use it. Are you on facebook? Facebook couldn’t buy twitter so they change the look to copy it.
You brother in So. Tx.

Hey Jon…
Hope you are well. I have not made the move to Facebook yet, although I have had lots of nudging to do so. Perhaps soon. Between my blog and my website I don’t know that I can squeeze out any additional time for Facebook. However, I’ll let you know if I take the Facebook plunge.
Blessings,
Omar~
