You may be wondering about the name of this blog (or not!). Regardless, I will tell you. As a practice blog, the name is a practice name. If I move on to my third attempt at blogging as mentioned earlier, I have two names in mind for two new blogs. In the meantime I am using ebaptist.ca.<\/p>\n
This name came to me a few years ago when I made my first attempt at blogging. I had grand visions then. For many years I have been moderator of a private e-mail group for Canadian pastors. We have about 50 pastors from across Canada and a few Canadian missionaries from around the world sharing prayer requests, news, and occasionally discussing things related to the ministry or theology. My vision at the time was to create a web home for this group and provide news and information oriented to the ministry in Canada on a more regular basis.<\/p>\n
Our e-mail group is called ibcanada (Independent Baptists Canada), but when I checked the availability of the domain, it was taken by some international business group. After much internal wrestling, I realized I would have to come up with a new name. Change comes hard, eh?<\/p>\n
After a time, I settled on ebaptist (for electronic Baptist) and a .ca domain for Canada. This still isn’t registered, so it is still available for ‘stealing’, as far as I know. As I said, it was a vision… Like many a good vision, it has shriveled into a dim memory, but it does have the potential of revival someday.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, it is the practice name for my practice blog. The names for the third attempt remain locked in my fevered brain.<\/p>\n

Don Johnson
