I would be wrong if I didn’t blog
I’ve been reading a lot of blogs over the last year or so. I used to just get them emailed to me, but as email gets more and more about spam, I decided to finally start using google reader to organize my reading so that I could do it on my schedule. Wow, it really helps me. Anyway, I wasn’t doing a blog myself until recently. I really didn’t think that I had much that anyone else would want to read. But I was recently impressed upon that there are more reasons for blogging than that.
Here are some of them;
Stewardship of Information — God has given me many great opportunities to learn from others. I would be wrong not to pass what I have learned along to help others. It’s not up to me if they listen or not.
Stewardship of Time — I can’t possibly answer all the questions or emails that come in from others and still have time for my church and family. Blogging allows me to answer a question once and then refer others to it.
I make more sense in Writing — My ramblings don’t always make much sense unless I take the time to write and refine them. As I write, I become a better communicator.
Journaling – In Jeremiah 31 it says, “Set up roadsigns, put up guideposts. Mark well the path by which you came.” Blogging gives me a way to track the goodness of God and the journey I have traveled.
Personal Growth – Blogging makes me a better leader. It keeps me humble. Just as teaching helps you learn, blogging keep me on the learning edge of leadership.
