It’s been two weeks since I first started blogging. This past week has been a week of writer’s block. I’ve started several times this past week to put up a new post, but nothing came of it. Some of you may wonder, “Why blog?” After this past week and putting up with writer’s block, I wonder why myself. The answer comes partially from tonight’s Spiritual Formation class at our church. Tonight we looked at the spiritual discipline of journaling. One of the best places to look for early examples of journaling is in the Psalms. Here we have writers putting down their thoughts in very open and transparent ways. It has always been difficult for me to express my thoughts and even more difficult if I know others will be reading them. This blog is an attempt to overcome this weakness. The challenge I’ve given to myself this week is to journal through this blog each day. Another thing that I have challenged myself to do is to become a better writer. You become a better writer through practice. Yes, each week I have to prepare a sermon, but I also like the challenge of coming up with something of meaning on a daily basis. Tomorrow, I’ll take a look at the title of this blog and some of the topics I’ll write about.
