| Where to begin?
This is
my first attempt at a post and to be honest I am not sure what to even
write. Should there be boundaries on what is appropriate to publish? I
have seen so many xanga sites over the past few months and have found
two tendencies seem to be common. Some posts are incredibly deep
treatises on the writer's life, philosophy or theology. I sometimes
find these encouraging and appreciate the writer's effort and outward
focus. However, I wonder if readers like myself want to read through
the volumes of emotional outpouring or exegetical musings.
Other
posts are detailed descriptions of the writer's daily
interactions. This may even include paragraph descriptions about
nothing. Although these writings might be more revealing and "true to
life", they can be rather boring. Often they only make sense if you are
in fact the writer yourself or a very close friend.
I
told myself that if I ever actually posted I would try to avoid both
extremes. Now, comes the dilemma of writing about my views on life yet
keeping
it honest and readable. We will see how it goes! One thing I
would to always include are good quotes that I appreciate from
others. I can't really tell you why but I am connoisseur of good
quotations. The first is in honor of my old college roommate and
good friend, Tim Rickert.
"God delights in putting His
treasure in weak, and timid, and sometimes naturally different
individuals so that when the time of usefulness comes, it is apparant
to them and everyone else that it was ALL of God!" -Alistair Begg
Thanks for your patience. More to come!
