I wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted a response on my last entry. I know that some of you chose to not post and that's OK. The responses I received are encouraging and have caused me to think long and hard about my blog. I guess, the easy thing to do would be to just say some things here and there and be pretty opaque in most of what you see here. But that's really never been my style, so the more I think about it, the more I have decided that I am just going to say what I feel like I need to say here and if it causes someone else a problem, they can come to me (obviously I am not going to say anything about anyone else) and if it continues to bother them, they don't have to read... OK, so that's a little harsh maybe, or even a little more straightforward, or maybe unChristlike? I don't know, I don't really think so, I think it's just honest.
With that being said, I hope you have a great Christmas holiday. I won't be blogging anymore over the next week or so, because this is a really busy time for me. I have to prepare to speak at
YIA and at
church this week, and some other speaking stuff I'll be doing over the next few weeks.
May God bless you during this season of your life, and may you find peace in the hands of the Father!
OK So, it's been a few days since I wrote anything here. Thing is I have about six or seven posts in the old "draft" file. I may finish one in a day or two. But right now I would like to share this; A friend of mine recently brought up something on his
blog.He brought up the fact that blogging has become something different than he intended it to be. That he hasn't felt like he could do what he originally wanted to do with His blog. To reflect on his point I'll say this.
When I started my blog it for me was I place I could just lay anything out there. As time has passed to some extent I have become a little more cautious about what I write. I guess I feel like some of the things I say could come back to me, maybe misunderstood and even skewed from what my intent was.
The point is, what does everyone else do? Do you just say what you want on your blog and not worry about it? Have you ever had someone say something to you about your blog and it be someone you least expected?
Taking it one step further - if you read my blog - all three of you - leave me a comment and just say hey. Maybe you could tell me what you think I should talk about here, or what you have enjoyed or not enjoyed. Tell me what you would find most interesting. I am even going to allow anonymous comments from you, just for this post. I pretty much don't usually do that, as I have my own reasoning, but I am just that interested. So hit me with your best shot, inquiring minds want to know...
