Introduction

I have to begin this first blog with a prayer. "Lord God Almighty, please forgive me for saying I will never blog." I must confess it was not my idea to pursue this form of communication. I am not electronically challenged or computer illiterate, I simply prefer to speak on a personal level. I do however concede to the era, and agree with my conferees that the people I most desire to reach are in fact closer to me in this format than they might ever be in my comfort zone.

My beautiful wife is most responsible for encouraging me to blog. If this endeavor is indeed successful I will credit her for having the insight to plant the seed. This introductory blog is not what I will consider the first. The first blog will shed some light on "Mantle Maker's Beam." After an explanation of the name the following subjects we cover will continue to reveal the purpose of the Mantle, the Maker, and the Beam.

I hope we are launching a vessel that will carry us on an enjoyable journey.
