Why Blog?

I am just about to enter the world of blogging for the very first time.

I know, I know... I should have been about this a long time ago if I was trying to keep up with the times. But, I am the kind of person who likes to let the dust settle a little bit before I go rushing into something. It gives me a chance to think and pray through it before I dive right in.

So, why blog?

There are a number of reason why an individual would or does. Mine probably are not that far away from the norm. (1) Because I think clearer when I am able to 'talk' my ideas out... in this case 'blog' my ideas out. (2) It's a good way to connect with other people through a relatively new means of communication. (3) Like a great deal of people in the world today, I am nagged by the idea that someone may value my opinion, advice, or thoughts on some subject, situation, or passage of scripture. (4) Entertainment.

Number three may be tainted with a bit of narcissism, but it occurred to me that people I do not know would probably not be interested in this blog nearly as much as someone that does know. (Although both categories of people may have no desire to read these posts.) Maybe blogs serve as more of a self-description of people than a way to communicate their own opinions and information.

So, here I am. I am preparing to publish my first post and journey into a new artificial world...
