Welcome to my first attempt at blogging. What in the world is a blogger? I wasn't sure so I looked it up online and found some interesting definitions. According to Dave Winer of the Harvard Law School, blogging is 'a hierarchy of text, images, media objects and data, arranged chronologically, that can be viewed in an HTML browser." Reading that really made me feel better. I was still not sure so I found a better definition. According to Matisse Enzer, "A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web." The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger." So here is what I understand with my simple mind: when someone journals online they are writing a blog. The person writing the blog is a blogger, and when the journal is updated they are blogging.
Question? Isn't a journal something that is private and personal? I remember my sisters getting really angry when I read their journals and exposed their personal thoughts and feeling, "because they were personal." So maybe it really isn't a journal, it is like a personal newspaper in which you tell people what is really on your mind. It is an attempt to reveal thoughts that are important to you that you think might be of benefit to others.
With that said, I can't think of many juicy stories that you need to hear about my life, but I do believe that there are incredible truths found in the Bible that can really make life interesting and better. So, this blogger will write his blogs with the goal of sharing insights from the Bible that have changed his life, with the hopes that it will be a tool God uses to change the lives of others. Again, welcome and I look forward to blogging with you.
