Why Blog?

One might wonder why I joined the blogging community. I have a few reasons for doing so.
1. Facebook eats my life away.
The social networking world of Facebook is certainly a place to use time up. It all starts with a simple status change.. that friends comment on.. you decide to go on their pages to see how they are doing... they are in a relationship with who?... Family vacation pictures in Tahiti 2005!... before you know it, the day just got significantly shorter. Thus I want to significantly reduce my time on that website, while still being able to share what is going on in my life.
2. For Encouragement of Others
I don't know about you, but I find watching a believer grow in their walk with the Lord to be extremely encouraging. Seeing them actively pursuing Christ while far too many others seem content with cruise control Christianity is a breath of fresh air. I want this blog to be the same for you.
3. A Challenge
"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another"- Proverbs 27:17 I hope to at times challenge the thinking of Christians. Sometimes in our desire to fit in, we emulate habits of this world that aren't Christlike at all, but are rather in sinful violation of the Word of God.
4. For the Glory of God
This is ultimately the most important reason. I want my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to receive glory and honor in everything I do.
