Why Blog?

I confess it's the last thing I wanted to do.  It's hard enough keeping fresh every Sunday.  My wife questioned by sanity.  "Do you really want to be responsible for writing something EVERY WEEK?"  But then  I bumped into a web post--6 Reasons Pastors Should Blog.    Here is a quick take on that post.  Why Pastors' Should Blog...  1)... to write.  Writing has value for thinking.   If you strive to write well, you will strive to think well.  2)...to teach.  A blog is a perfect place for 30 second nuggets of truth that can't be shared in other venues.  3)...to recommend.  Blogs are great places for for suggesting and recommending.  4)...to interact.  It is a great way to stay abreast of people's opinion's and questions.  5)...to develop an eye for what is meaningful.  A blog nurtures a habit of looking for insight and wisdom and value in every situation, no matter how mundane.  If you live life looking for what is worthwhile in every little thing, you will see more or what God has to teach.  6)...to be known.   A pastor is far more then his ideas.  He is a husband and a father, someone's friend and other people's enemy.  People need some access to you as a person.  A blog is one of them.   

So there you have it.  I'm in!  I'm officially part of the blogging world.  YAHOO!
