In December of 2002, a pastor of a small Baptist church in South Texas began posting essays at a web log he called bReal Live Preacher.b From the beginning, the only claim he made was that he wanted to write as honestly as he could.Within a few months, thousands of people were coming to read his essays on life, faith, children, tamales, the stars, Jesus, and anything else that was on his mind. The readers of bReal Live Preacherb began leaving comments and have formed an online community where all questions may be asked and everyone is welcome. bReal Live Preacherb is currently listed in the top ten web logs at Salon.com and is one of the most read web logs in the world.
