Thoughts on Blogging

     I decided to start a blog. I was in the office at my new job as a youth pastor and I was talking to our secretary. We were talking about facebook, twitter, blogging, etc, and how these social networking devices have created a culture of arrogance. As we type away each moment of our day when we wake up, are drinking coffee, or go to a concert, why we hate it when traffic is backed up for hours on the interstate, and anything else that comes our way, we believe people are really interested in what we are doing at that moment. On the other side of that coin we are interested in what is going on in other people's lives. Some of us will spend hours a day looking at pictures, commenting, and messaging our friends. Essentially, people do care about other people's lives and we find out a lot of information through facebook without ever having to talk to them on the phone or in person. At this point you may be asking, why then am I typing away assuming that you are interested. Well you have read this far, which means you are at least curious.

    The intention of this blog isn't to fill you in on my life and its whirlwinds, but to minister to those of you who may choose to read it. I am thinker and a talker, but often my thoughts don't come out very clear when I speak them. I hope they make more sense typed up. If any of the future topics I post about interest you or make you question I would love to have a conversation with you. Enjoy and God bless!
