Well, I have been contemplating blogging for a while, have set it up, added some books, profile etc, but have been looking at a blank section for “post” for a few weeks now! I have read about blogger’s block, but no-one told me you might be afflicted before you begin!
So here’s why I am thinking about blogging …
- I have enjoyed reading a few blogs recently, and live in the hope that someone (or some people!) might enjoy reading this blog.
- I have loads of random thoughts that I never write down, so this is a way of keeping me reading / learning / writing etc. So it is probably mostly for me!
- I love conversation. One of my enduring frustrations with preaching is the lack of dialogue. I live in hope of finding ways of learning & growing through interaction with others … so if you do find yourself reading this please add a comment!!
- And while we are on preaching … I have been thinking about theology being done in community … perhaps some further conversations here will mean the monologue by me on a Sunday, is actually a number of different voices, opinions, perspectives and thoughts being voiced through me? That at least feels like some movement.
- I am an “information gatherer”, picking up things here and there (but very rarely finishing book for example). So here is a way of sharing some of the information I pick up with others who maybe don’t have the time to search.
So there we go, the first blog done. Wasn’t that bad …
