I thought that blogging was a pretty simple matter. Just start writing whatever comes to mind. But, I'm finding that it isn't quite so simple. Stream of consciousness is not my forte. I tend to belabor an idea almost to death before setting it down in black and white. I've thought of many things to put in my initial post, but translating the thoughts into the written word isn't as simple as I thought.
So, if that's the case, why blog in the first place? After all, writing my thoughts in cyberspace might reveal myself as a fool, a poor confused soul, a "conservative" or "liberal," a religious fanatic or a heretic, and so on. Well, others' "good opinion" has never been a prime consideration of mine. As Popeye said, 'I yam what I yam."
Perhaps the reason I am blogging is that I hope that by writing down my thoughts I might be able to make sense of my life, what I really believe, and how I should live my life as a follower of Jesus. Yeah, that's the ticket. So, I'm just going to ramble on and, with God's help, try to make sense of my life in relation to my faith.
