The boy who fancied himself a blogger...

A while back I fancied myself a blogger. I blogged at this same address. I tried to write controversial things about the church and my journey to follow Jesus in this world. I came to realize that in the midst of it all, my blogging was just an attempt to feed my own pride. The more readers, the more comments, the better I felt I was. I realized that in reality, I was just adding to the digital noise, so I shut it down and took a self-imposed sabbatical.

I had actually never intended to blog again.

So why am I writing this? Two reasons I suppose, the first being I have a pretty cool domain name and the second is I want to write again as a means of connecting the everyday occurrences of life to my faith. I have come to the place where I don't care if anyone reads or comments, and hopefully I will add something other than just digital noise.

    I'm with you on this one, I no longer care if anyone reads what I write, bu there is still a part of me that feels a need to produce on a regular basis, keeps me questioning myself.

    Welcome back! I always, or at the very least, usually appreciate what you have to say and am excited to see that you'll be posting here. With much love to the one who got me blogging in the first place.

    Good stuff Dave. Glad you're writing again. There are too many already who write just to be read.
