S.C. pastor writes ‘Marine Dad’ blog

“For four weeks, our family has been walking in uncharted territory.”

So begins Mike Moody’s Web log, or “blog” in Internet vernacular, at BaptistCourier.com, our online publication.

Moody’s blog, “A Marine Dad,” chronicles the thoughts and prayers of a father whose son is stationed in Iraq, more than 12,000 miles away from home.

“I want to be honest and transparent in sharing our struggles, our hopes, our fears, our mountains and valleys,” Moody wrote in his first posting.

“I have asked God to make this period of deployment a ‘teachable time’ as we draw close to Him and rely upon Him daily as never before.”

Moody, who is pastor of First Baptist Church, Honea Path, said he hopes online readers of The Baptist Courier will “take this journey” with him and his family by visiting his blog and posting comments.

“Most of all we covet your prayers for our son and the men in his company,” he said.
