Is that why we blog?
The Evangelical Outpost describes our (or rather his) inner conflicts regarding blogging. He says:
- We hope for. . . community. But we often reward ... individuality - We hope for. . . eternal perspective. But we often reward ... focus on the trivial and ephermeral - We hope for. . . depth and breadth of interest. But we often reward ... shallowness - and narrowness of concern - We hope for. . . wisdom. But we often reward ... foolishness - We hope for. . . unity. But we often reward ... division - We hope for. . . faith, hope, and love. But we often reward ... doubt, pessimism, and uncharitableness |
I honestly made a concerted effort to avoid all the traps the Evangelical Outpost says we eventually fall into. See for yourselves!
I think blogging is serious. It is not really an online diary (at least not in the expected sense). For me, it has been a way to articulate many ideas, concerns and events that have affected me either negatively or positively.
I really do try to follow my blog heading: "A place to explore and shed light on how art, culture and society converge".
I think there are serious things going on in the world. By writing about them I try to find the missing (or insightful) links.
