“Blogging & Proverbs 3”

I’ve been wary of blogging due to the fact that I had missed one of the whole points of a blog until now. After all, who do I think “I” am to blather on & on about things w/o bothering to edit heavily? Won’t folks call me on my faults & proclaim I don’t have a leg to stand on if I’m complaining? Won’t people realize how naïve I may come across if I praise in a gullible way?
The obvious answer is “yes”. The point I hadn’t realized was that one of the whole points of a blog is that so few people answer your blog, you can handle whatever criticism comes your way! The blog is a “Get Out of the Repercussions Free Card” for not just venting, but positive stuff as well. The blog’s power is in the fact that there is little need for caveats or disclaimers. This is due to the definition of the word “blog” having become synonymous with “caveat”. It basically screams, “This was not edited for your safety…much less my own.”
In a secular setting the above would be rather naïve, for “We the fallen” love to criticize even those that are doing the criticizing. Yet, (hopefully) in a not so secular setting such as D.F., where most of the subject matter is about Gods hand in our lives, a blogger will get the benefit of the guidance of the Holy Ghost. A blog is intended to be a vent machine & a praise machine. In other words, we can blog in faith.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding,
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.”
- Proverbs 3:5-6

Blog not on your own understanding? Hey, it gives Spell Check a run for its money when you do that. Of course my aim is to blog well, but if I don’t, well… there is always divine intervention. As this whole particular blog is a caveat for all my future blogs, please brothers & sisters in Christ… fire at will!

P.S. Or encourage at will, or read & don’t answer, or…
