A while back, (shortly after I stared using Linux on a regular basis to be exact,) I registered my system with Counter.Li.Org. I was perfectly happy and willing to throw my hat into the ring and be counted when it came to showing my preference for operating systems. “Take that, Bill & Steve!” rang through my brain. Just recently, I got a new laptop, and what did I do? I repartitioned the hard-drive and made it dual-boot with my personal favorite Linux distro! What did I do shortly after that? I went right back over to Counter.Li.Org and added my laptop information to my registration info. When someone asks me about my computer, I don’t hesitate to expound on how I put it together and how great Linux is. This is all well and good, but what difference does all this fervor truly make?

The name of this site is, Linux for Christians. All too often, especially for me, the fervor seems to focus on the Linux part. While it would be nice if everyone could see the “light” and use Linux, isn’t it more important that they see the Light of Christ? Forget about being a registered Linux user for a moment and refocus on being registered in the Lamb’s Book of Life. It may sound trite and silly, but that is ultimately what is most important. If we are more concerned about winning people to Linux than winning people to Christ, it doesn’t really matter what operating system we’re using, because our priorities have become misaligned.
