Blogs.. What are They Good For?

Well here we go... I have decided to start a blog, but before I begin I would like to take some time and answer a few questions that might be on some of the minds that find the time to read this:

Why should I blog and what am I going to blog about? Glad you asked... I have thought about this for a few months and I have decided on doing a blog that isn't all about me... what I mean by that is some people treat a blog almost as a public journal... I do not want that what I would like to see is a blog that is about what I am interested in and enjoy. These will range from books to things I am reading in the Word to computer stuff to big news to random theological topics to board games (yeah I know kinda random). So hopefully this will be more than just what I had for breakfast yesterday or why I think the sky is blue. I would like to see this blog as stirring up minds on topics that effect us in our day to day lives.

Now that I have covered what I am going to be blogging about there are two natural questions that come to mind. The first is "Well why would you want to write about that?". The reason is because I enjoy those things (and this blog is about my life and what makes me tick) and that is what I fill my time with and if I am going to "blog" then I want to "blog" about things that I enjoy and like. The second question is "Why on earth should you read this blog?". Very good, and more difficult, question. I would hope that there were some people in the world who did care about my me enough to take 5 or 10 minutes out of their week to read this (although there aren't many). However, it might just be helpful for you. You could find some things in this blog to be encouraging or interesting, you might even learn some new interesting fact that you have never learned before... whatever the case may be I hope that there would be at least one person out there who finds what I type to be... well something (i.e. important, interesting, helpful, sweet, insightful, stupid, funny, ridiculous, tragic, creative, or any other adjective that I have left out).

The point is I think blogging is good. Not just to keep in touch with your friends after you graduate, but to help others personally. Whether it be informing others or giving out some new thoughts on certain topics, and issues. Blogs are more than just public diaries they are well crafted and thoughtful pieces of information that can inspire people to think and act in a different way and because of that I am going to begin my own blog. I do not plan to post something every single day. However, I would like to post something weekly. So that is all I have to say for the moment... Until next time.
