The Newness of it All...

Here is my blog. It is so close to journaling that I'm afraid of getting carried away and forgetting that it is all being written in front of other people. But then...I often get carried away in front of other people by just how I behave, that it would be nothing new.

My daughter (Morgan) asked me if I might consider blogging. She said she likes what I have to say. That is a mighty find compliment, so I the least I could do was listen to her.

I suppose if I don't have the time or energy to blog on some days, then I'll just post stories. Is that acceptable in the blog world?

I suggested to Morgan that if you really had something you wanted to say, "Why not write a book and earn a little $$ for the family?"

While she agreed that this is a true statement, not everything a person thinks is publishable. I suppose if one's blog is popular enough, publishing might be a suggested and the blog would have served a great purpose? (Yes...that is supposed to be a question mark.)

But here is another thought - perhaps a blog could serve as a regular encouragement to other people. That is perhaps a noble and in some ways a haughty thought. Just suppose though that every time someone is feeling overwhelmed, they turn on the computer and find something positive to encourage him/her.

Of course, I always say first and foremost, "Turn to the Bible." If the blog directs them to God's Word, then it is a two-fold encouragement.

Ok...I'm at the point of justifying having a blog. So, Morgan, for starters - how did I do on this one?

I need to go for a walk before it rains. Oh, perhaps that statement should be posted on my twitter. I wonder if all this means is that I'll never tear myself away from the computer.
