Dear Hillsdale family and friends,

I take on the task of blogging somewhat tentatively, but recognizing that the internet has become the tool for both communication and change. For one who admittedly holds a certain disdain for the self-aggrandizement associated with Facebook, I approach this Blog hoping that I do not fall into the same entrapment of self-promotion as evidenced all over the internet.

Having been led into the blogosphere “kicking and screaming”, I nevertheless step into the foray hoping this insignificant voice might edify many, provoke some, and encourage the faint-hearted.

Recognizing that God will be judge of every idle word (Matthew 12:36), I am blessed to have even one who might follow the musings of this pastor.

Pastor Travis D. Smith
