So I'm just throwing this out there - having thought for a long time, off and on, about keeping a blog. What does one write about? What I ate for breakfast? What Paula is doing with her day (painting our daughter's room)? What the other kids are doing?
How I'm enjoying - or not enjoying - this Tuesday off? How much information? Who will read this? Will the discipline of regularly writing get me into a routine that will then propel/compel me into writing my big book? (And wasn't James Michener about my age when he started writing? - books, I mean, not blogs).
My questions are these (Wait a minute! Pretty much all I've done so far is ask questions, but here are some more):
1. Do I link this with my church website, whose "Pastor's Blog" sits barren, except for a couple of entries from 2009? If so, it's something potential visitors and all members can see if they want, and will have to be written a certain way.
2. Do I simply put this address on Facebook for those "friends" to see? And on the Yahoo update list? If so, that's a different type of blog - more about old relationships that are being renewed, etc.
What is the nature of this blog?
Right now I'm just going to call this a "trial post" and go to sleep on it. Let's see... will I remember how to get back here? That's all for now, then. An inglorious "first blog" if there ever was one! But the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, right? (I know, I'll just fill my blog pages with those kinds of cliches and the fun will be for people to see that as an inside joke.... no good.) See you tomorrow.
