A Blog on Blogging

We had dinner with some friends tonight and started talking about blogging. The idea of what to blog about came up and the revelation that two of us at the table enjoy blogging but we feel that we need something glorious and wonderful to write and so in the in process we fail to blog as much as we truly would like. Why is that? Are we trying to paint a rosier picture than what is real? Or perhaps, do we feel like we need an angle to catch someone's attention?

I can only speak for me, but sometimes I'm afraid of offending someone with my words. The written word is so difficult to totally convey tone and at times can easily be misinterpreted. And the fear of "do I really have anything important to say?" Really? I guess if you are reading this then you feel that my opinion is somewhat important, after all, no one is forcing you to read this.

What would happen if we truly did see our every day as something glorious and wonderful? Our moments as memories that will last forever, not always having to "make" memories but enjoying the ones that just happen. That's what we should write about...our lives, our wonderful, one-of-a-kind lives and all of the incredible things that God is doing in them! What a neat Spiritual journey we would have recored!

James 4:14, Psalm 39:4-5, Psalm 139

Quote for the Day

Here is a quote that I found as I began to read Sun Stand Still by Steven Furtick. I had heard him say it during a sermon he preached on the book--it blew me away then and it blew me away tonight. Thought I'd share it!

"If the size of your vision for your life isn't intimidating to you, there's a good chance it's insulting to God."
