I have not written in my blog for a long time. There have been a few reasons for that lack of writing. None of them good.

1. The biggest reason is that I have been lazy. It takes time and effort to write.
2. When I sin, I feel like I have no right to write anything especially about God’s Word
3. Intimidation. I am privileged at my church to study and work with people who have great minds, who sometimes listening to them makes my head hurt. I think that I have to write and think on their level. I am not smart enough to be the next John Piper, CJ Mahaney, or Craig Muri.
4. I might be wrong about something and someone will think less of me. I have people who I admire and respect read this blog and do not want to be looked at as stupid.

So why do I blog?

1. It started off with the fact that I use to like to write and every once in a while I was able to write coherently.
2. It helps me think through things.
3. It is a way, maybe just maybe I can reach out to someone.

Why start again this year?

1. Help me think through new Biblical and life concepts that I am learning. Reading and studying through the Bible and trying to live a holy life it is not enough to just read and listen, you need to interact and wrestle with the text from the Bible and try to integrate concepts into your life.
2. Help me learn to communicate more clearly.
3. To possibly learn from others. Instead of being wrong, I will get a chance to learn.

My goal is to write at least two blog entries each month. With the hope of doing blog posting at least once a week. I am hoping that as I write I am able to wrestle and learn things that will help me become closer to the image of Christ. My hope is through His help that I am able to write things that are God glorifying.
