Back to blogging
Jan 23rd, 2007 by Carl
Last night my wonderful wife checked my blog here and wondered why I have not written for a while. Lots of reasons. But, it’s time to start again. Part of it for me was figuring out why to blog. Was it just to be cool? Be famous? Have people impressed by my keen insight, witty humor and elegant prose? No.
I guess that I have decided to see it as a discipline of sorts, with two basic goals.
- Improve my wriiting. Yes, most blog posts are short, but the simple practice of writing frequently should help my writing and communication skills.
- More importantly, I see it as a way to spark creativity as I look for things to write about and also try to see things in a new way. I think it will help me as a preacher and also as a follower of Jesus to pay more attention to God’s activity in daily life.
We’ll see how it goes.
I like what you wrote here…. especially the “paying more attention to God’s activity in my daily life”. There have been periods in my life and in my blogging history when God at work seemed all over the place and topics for blogging were ripe for the picking, but lately my days seem pretty ho hum… can’t find a thing to write about. Hmmmmm…. I’m sure God is still at work. Must be me. Maybe my brain is frozen.
