Why Blog?

Posted on Posted in Blog, Meditations

So it’s happened.  I’ve decided to blog.
I’m not sure how often it will happen, or what it will be about, but there are a few reasons I’ve decided to do it.
No, I don’t think the world needs yet another person putting opinions out there for mass consumption, and no, I don’t think my thoughts need to be heard more than others, but often I feel like I’m a lone voice in a crowd, and instead of fitting my thoughts into 140 characters or incomplete snippets that end up being misread and misunderstood, I thought I’d just post here.  A place where my thoughts could be complete, and maybe bring up some food for thought as others read them.
I’m not trying to change the world, but simply be myself: pastor, wife, mother, yogi, saint and sinner.

A word about my title and tagline:
I do not think I’m right. I’m not posting because I believe I need to change the minds of those who read it.
I simply want to put things out there, and encourage people to think differently or even challenge the status quo.
But in doing this, I realize that what I say and post is only my own limited view.  It’s imperfect.
It’s like looking in a mirror – it’s only a dim reflection of reality, and the scope is limited.
“For now I see only a reflection in a mirror…” (1 Corinthians 13:12)

  1. People have been expressing themselves in forms of writing since cave man days. There must be something to it, or it would not be so long lived. Just now while I was composing my message I thought, “what if the cave-person made a drawing and some other cave person came up and said the bear (or whatever) wasn’t THAT big” then I giggled. Only in my world.
