Blog On
Posted on Mar 28 2006 | Tagged as: blogging, faith
I have really come to appreciate blogging. It has provided a way for me to express myself in writing at a time when I am doing a whole lot of processing. It has provided a healthy outlet for my thoughts and is documenting the work God is doing in me.
Marta and I find ourselves nearly every night sitting at our kitchen table with laptops glowing and keyboards clicking. Our conversations are frequently about our latest idea for a post. This is providing a springboard for deep and meaningful interaction. We have not watched a television show in over a month; it would take away from our blogging time.
I find the rest of my day is more meaningful as well. As I move about I am looking for inspiration. I seek meaning and substance in nearly every pondering, prayer, interaction, and word I read. Before these things would just flow over me with little reflection, but now everything is a potential journal entry.
Writing is a powerful tool. My memory stinks; I know that if I can just get my thoughts in writing I can refer back. I also find that writing helps me remember. Right now there is a lot I want to remember. I want to remember to seek humility. I want to remember how God feels about the oppressed and hurting. I want to remember that we are God’s plan to demonstrate his goodness to the world. I want to remember that my responsibility is to offer him the gifts I have, and he will do the rest.
If you’re not blogging, you may want to consider it.

Andy,
You’re amazing. I am more and more thankful (all the time) to know you and to consider you a friend. I have appreciated your thoughts, perspectives, and the way that you articulate those thoughts. You have also inspired me to be faithful in my own way. Thank you.
