I thought the high-powered, heady world of dot-coms—even dot-coms devoted to religion and spirituality—was far removed from my own walk with Christ

I never expected that God would use my time at this Web site to teach me about being more faithful to him. I thought that my work could remain compartmentalized in some section of my brain marked "earning a living," and that my faith would sit neatly in its own cubbyhole. I thought the high-powered, heady world of dot-coms—even dot-coms devoted to religion and spirituality—was far removed from my own walk with Christ. But he uses everything. He doesn't just use my quiet time or my mornings in church. He is looking to draw me into him, and if I ever again spend several days a month working online, he's going to meet me there.
