Perhaps, a little extravagant for an opening, but a blog is a very weird thing. Anyone can read it if they can find it, and if they want to. But millions of people have a blog or two which they may or may not choose to actually write on. Then the chance of finding a blog on which there is something more interesting on it then a laundry list of emo life events or lunch options.
No offense… It’s not as though mine will be any better. Actually, it is probably low self esteem that causes me to lash out at the mundaneness of other’s work. In fact, what is mundane to one is the source of life to another. Kinda like, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Now, many of my friends use their blogs for the excellent purpose of exposing their religious walk and to open their lives in a way that can build community and draw in seekers into a community of believers. This is highly commendable. I started a blog with the same basic idea in October when I was attending More Excellent Way with Kara. My first post was a bitter, slightly critical, somewhat hopeful, heart-bleeding, life-historical post. I hated it. Too much self exposure for a first blog. I’ve tried to go back to that blog, or even erase my first post and start over, but I cannot go back. Perhaps, I’ll share that blog at sometime in the future, but for now, I’m going to keep it fairly light. Although, I am in a cynical stage. 5 years of higher academia will do that to a girl.
There were other things I was going to write about tonight, but I went in a totally different dirrections. It is possible to be several places at once. So here is my first blog. Pray for something substancial and interesting in the future.
