to Blog or not to Blog...

Over the past month I have cranked out over 50 pages of written material for seminary classes. I only have about 30 more pages to write in the next two weeks. In all of this I keep wondering, "do I really have that much to say?" I have started using the blog reader on iGoogle and enjoy gaining bits of info and life from all kinds of people. But one question I keep asking myself is "can I contribute anything?" Well I don't know if I can contribute, but I guess if I can write papers about nonviolence, worship, ethics, and reflections of my personal and theological experiences, I might as well put something in blog form in a way to journal out loud. Maybe something I say will touch someone else, and maybe it is just therapeutic. Either way, I am going to give this a shot.

This past week I had a conversation with our revival speaker, Mark Allen, and we talked about the use of blogs. I guess some people use their blogs as a soap box, and I'll probably do that occasionally, some might ask questions, and others share too much personal info. I'm sure I will be guilty of all of these as I chart my path through the world of blogging. Well back to writing papers.
