The Great Blog-o-sphere

Kerii and I were chatting last night about the Internet. He happens to know a lot about surfing the Net and finding information, since that's mostly what he deals with at work. We were discussing what some of the House of Justice members have been telling the youth lately, that we should really get out into the virtual world and make great Baha'i content readily accessible.

Baha'i youth (well, adults too) need to educate themselves throughly in the Writings of the Faith, we need to immerse ourselves in the Word of God to gain deeper understanding of our fundamental beliefs. How are we to defend our faith against others who would try and tear it down if we do not fully understand it ourselves? Hmmmm? Ours is the generation that will have to deal with the mess we find ourselves in today, a mess I like to call contemporary society.

There is so much corruption and disintegration in the world today, power struggles and financial wars that we cannot help but witness. But as a Baha'i, I find solace in knowing that this is an inevitable step on the road to something better. I understand that a global world order is something tangible, but that we must witness the decay and complete dismantling of the old world order so that we may create somthing better. You have to tear an old, condemned building down to its very foundations before you can construct another building in its place. Baha'is are already working on the new building, we already have the new blueprints given to us by Baha'u'llah, by Abdu'l-Baha, by Shoghi Effendi.

So now I'm just waiting for the old building to shake itself to its foundations so I can continue to help create a new and better one. And in the process, I'm trying to bring a little more information and hope to the people out there despairing at the state of the world...it's going to get better, and we're going to make it happen. Count on it.
