I’ve been reading blogs tonight and I’m not sure why. It’s some kind of masochistic pleasure I think. This is because many of them make me mad… not the eye-rolling, drooling, lost my mind kind of mad… more the irate, want to slap someone kind of mad.
Why do we feel the need to share our dubious wisdom with strangers? Why do we have to write such pseudo intellectual diatribes? Why are we so keen to strenuously defend our misinformed ideas against the onslaught of someone else’s equally misinformed ideas? Why are we so keen to prove that we are somehow different from the masses by lambasting the establishment and spouting liberal doses of “humility” and “justice”?
Is it really worth it? Does it really make a difference in our world? Does it even influence a single person? What would Jesus write in His blog?
Before I’m left off anyone’s Christmas card list… I do read the blogs of a few friends of mine that I DO appreciate. I like to hear what people are up to. I like to laugh. I like to be challenged occasionally.
I guess my next post had better be about something light hearted… maybe about the huge rat left proudly outside my bedroom door by my cat this morning. Or maybe about the same rat, half digested, being deposited on the living room floor some hours later from the insides of my cat. Thank goodness for polished wooden floors!

It's just therapy for me.
Don't worry Incoherent... you're quite safe! In fact I've been waiting for a while to see what you write next.
I like when a blog writer shares about what's on their mind. The struggles, the conflict, the victories. I just don't like it when it seems the blog is a sermon and the writers viewpoint is the only one that's right.
