WHY BLOG?

10/15/13 
I often ask myself the "why blog"question. I often ask God that same question. 
Partial answers include; 
  • helps organize and clarify my own thoughts, 
  • to answer spiritual questions others ask of me, 
  • because God hasn't let me stop blogging, 
  • to make a difference for someone-somewhere out there in cyber-space.
And then today 2 scriptures jumped out at me, as I prepared a lesson, reminding me of a very personal reason to blog. (emphasis and underlining are mine)
Let this be recorded for future generations, so that a people not yet born will praise the LORD. (Psalm 102:18)
So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things. (2Peter 1:12-15)
So....maybe a big reason I blog, is for my grands and great grands, that they might know truth from God's word from their, Shug. (grandmother)
Why blog?
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. (3 John 2)
I blog to know such joy---that they (Nathan, Noah, Caleb, John Parker, Andrew Owen & Lucy & their offspring) might know true joy.
