Blessed are the... Beatitude Blogs?

We recently spent three weeks in church talking about the beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12) and I will be blogging on them individually at Compelled2 my cultural engagement blog throughout the summer as part of my doctoral work. 

You are welcome to follow along...and comment too.
