At first it seemed like a wast of time to sit down and write my thoughts on a blank screen; for some one to read. " Possibly, maybe, Probably not". Hey it could happen! That is when the fear comes, what if some one does read my thoughts. At least back in the day when people kept journals if they were read or commented on by others it was after the author's death.
However, as an American living in the twentieth century, or is it the twenty first, the art writing seems to be making a come back. With the progress being made in the speed of communication it is giving people more time to slow down, think, and then speak. This could be a beneficial exercise.
It would be most helpful if it were a part of a daily routine. Like anything else if it is a beneficial habit. I must say it could be difficult to maintain a regular Blog. A journal entry usually consisted of daily activity's that brought you closer to a goal, such as a scientist, a writer, a surveyor, or a researcher. They were than used to look back at as a reminder of what happened in the past so the person could either repeat the scenario or avoid the pit falls.
I am beginning to lose focus so I will either pick direction for the blog or just use it as a sounding board of my activities to determine were and how to make changes in my life. At this point I must say that pleasing God is a desire of mine, but if I look at how i conduct my life at times some one would be fair to say that pleasing God is not my desire in the least. I would love to look back at my journal and see God humble me and make me to be one that pleases Him.
