I started blogging so that my young son would have a record of his father’s thoughts. In the process, I have made new friends and enjoyed sharing my thoughts with the world.

Here are some reasons I blog.

I. Helps me clarify my writing style.

II. Give me a voice to rant and to let off steam.

III. Use for future illustrations – especially articles, and videos.

IV. Be interesting.

V. Gives a chance to share my life with people and to know what I’m thinking.

VI. Gives a chance for people to pray for me. When my wife lost her dad and I just blogged I’d appreciate prayers – it was a good thing.

VII. Encourages me to read other blogs and to get material for lessons, devotions, sermons.

VIII. Helps clarify my worldview. Lots of questions out there about faith, Jesus and who He is.

IX. A way to network and connect that the Kingdom of God is bigger than any one congregation.

X. A way to look back and see How far God has brought you along the journey and to keep going on.

Why twitter and facebook? Helps Build community and helps reinforce relationships. Though it is only a tool, the tool should be a help not a hindering ministry.
