I love - hate blogging !!

To 'blog or not to blog'? I must confess I have love - hate feelings about blogging. I can not escape the vague feelings of embarassment at what feels like a slightly pretentious thing to do. I have never been a fan of 'editorial opions' nor do I particularily like those "books and magazines that tell us what to be and what to see while we are being" and some how blogging as a lead pastor feels a little like that. I am sure a lot of this is down to my own 'issues'.

All that said, I have decided to commit on regular basis to this experience and as I venture forth I have one other misgiving about 'my blog'. Does it really do anything for any body -(that is not a veiled plea for some ego stroking) - Judging from the sparse comments /replies one wonders how many if any will read these and the other musings that will follow in the near future. It is sort of like the 'prayer experience' , (which I am speaking about @ this coming Sunday's Eikon gathering ) you can not help but wonder is anybody listening and does it really make a difference one way or another. In the next few weeks I am going to use the blog as a therapeutic tool to bear my honest thoughts about my life and living as a follower of Jesus. Those who do read this blog please keep in mind that what I write is not meant as any form of 'holy writ' just my musings
