State of the blog(I)…
Well…happy birthday to this blog…it’s two weeks old as of tonight!:-)
Time for a progress report…at least I think progress is the right word to use! By and large, this little exercise has been fun for me…and the intial reaction has been largely positive, for which I am most grateful.
Still, there has been some criticism…and if I may, allow me to express myself on that a little bit.
There IS a section for comments on here…presumably for input for any of you that come across this humble little corner. And I would prefer that any comments…positive or negative…be left there for me and other readers to peruse. Drive-by “flame” e-mails written by bitter, uninformed, self-absorbed, self-proclaimed “divas”, long on invective and short on intelligence do neither me nor the readers any good. Readers don’t get to see cogent counter-arguments to what I say, and I certainly don’t grow much from character assassination. So. if you have comments of that nature, either find a mature, civilized means of expressing them….or squeeze on a “Stressball” until you calm down…then, express them here. I want interactivity, but I don’t want this page to resemble “Piper’s Pit”.
And cutesy, cowardly, and cryptic comments made on a message board where it’s thought I might not see them are equally unfortunate and of use to no one, either. To those who would do such things, buck up and show some spine and maturity and express them intelligently over here…where it may be more useful than simply getting things “out of your system”, OK?
And since I’m aware that those who would resort to the above do so largely to fill their immense need for personal attention, let me just add…I’m not Andy Warhol. This is all the attention any of you will ever get over here. Your 15 minutes are now up!
In a more serious vein, I thank all of you who wish me well and who want to contribute your own insights and input to please do so. I already know what I think…I can only learn if I know what you think, too. And if you have any topic suggestions for me, I welcome those as well…for I never meant for this to be solely my corner. And although I might be able to comment credibly on a number of issues, I’m well aware that I have much to learn about a lot of things, and that’s why I need all of you. For “as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another”(Proverbs 27:17). That verse also applies to women, too.
I do plan to bounce back and forth between gospel music, philosophy, sports, and theology…and a few miscellaneous areas from time to time…as well as spotlight some worthy guest thinkers occasionally. Above all, though, I plan to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ in my commentary, and attitude here.
So hop on board…and “inquire” along with me!
