A Whole New World

At least for me anyway. For the past few years I have been following a few blogs, but have resisted the temptation to begin my own. "I don't have the time to keep it current," Nobody really cares what I think," "I don't want the whole world (obviously I am exaggerating) to know what is going on in my mind," are just a few of the excuses I have used. No more excuses; it is time to enter the world of blogging. So what no one cares what I think. I don't have anything to hid so if the world wants to read my thoughts I say welcome. And as for time, well, I guess I need to be a better steward of the 24 hours I have each day and make time.

So why now? Why begin a blog now? A few reasons. First, sometimes I just need an outlet for my thoughts and ideas. A blog provides that outlet. Second, there are a handful of people who really want to know what is going on in my mind, life, and journey. They are interested in me and my journey because they are friends on the same journey. They hold me accountable. They spur me on to Christlikeness. Third, a blog provides a useful conduit through which to communicate with my Bartlett Baptist Church family.

So, like the adventurers of a bygone era, I set sail into a whole new world. I have some reservations, but mostly excitement about what I will find, who I will meet, and the possibilities before me.

Journey On,

Michael
