First of all, blogging will help my writing/spelling proficiency. Some may say that journaling would do the same thing. Unfortunately, I've tried the journaling thing and though I enjoy getting my
thoughts down into words, I often become lazy. Knowing that I am (most likely) the only person who will ever read my entries gives little motivation to exhibit any creativity or thought in my writing. I know my blog will never become heavily visited, but it has more potential to be read than any journal that I keep hidden in my room. For example, my dad started a blog a year ago. He made one post (two sentences long) and that one post has been read 41 times. Crazy right?!
Secondly, many of the people I admire have blogs of their own. A blog will not make me someone worth being admired, however, it will force me have something worth being read. I want to use my blog to encourage and inspire others the way I have been encouraged and inspired through blogs.
Finally and most importantly, blogs are an incredible way to bring glory to God. By praising my God and pointing others to His goodness I will bring Him glory. Bringing glory to God is my purpose and my passion. My life is His therefore this blog is His. What will be written on this blog and how long I can maintain this blog is up to the Lord to control. My prayer is that whether I maintain a blog for one day, one week, one year, or for the rest of my life every entry will bring worth to the name of my Creator, Redeemer, and Friend Jesus Christ.
Well, that was blog entry number 1. I would like to say that the first blog is the hardest, but I've only written one. If you really want to know ask me after I've written a few more entries.( -Then I'll know someones actually reading this.) :-) I hope you were encouraged or inspired by reading this blog. Go out and start your own blog!
Well, Bless my Boots! What a way to start a summer vacation! I don't know what actually kicked you off the cliff to start a blog but I admire you for doing it. I guess you really didn't go over the cliff though, but your picture looks like you are really close. I liked your first entry...you put some "heavy" goals out there for yourself. But I know the Lord can use this type of avenue for His glory. And I know you will use it that way. Blogs are a neat way to both open a window to your mind and heart as well as share your ideas with the world. So....I'm waiting to find out what you REALLY think about things...politics, money, love, work, play, Thailand, the beach, how long you plan to stand there on that cliff... The adventure begins! And now I guess I'll have to get off of my procrastinating mind and start my own blog...look what you've done! Love ya, Grandpa Radin
ReplyDeletethanks for the encouragement Grandpa! If the blog goes the way I'm hoping, you will here much more about those things you mentioned. Love you!
