Major Blog Changes

For starters, let me begin to talk about the changes to say I'm actually going to start posting consistently...at least so I think. What started as a semi-private place for me to record my thoughts slowly became another blog with three posts and very little future. I have decided to change that.

Another major change is that I've now made this available to the public. I might even get around to sending the link out to a few people...friends, family, whoever. I'm sure some people will stumble on this from time to time. I could really care less how many people visit my blog, for there are thousands to choose from, but I would like to accomplish three things through this: 1.) Be accountable to myself. If I can make 4 or 5 posts a week, which is my goal, then that's four or five 20 minute segments when I'm in deep thought about my Christian walk...and that's a good thing. 2.) Be accountable to others. I want people in my life to know me. I can be a quiet guy, but that's not really me. 3.) Hopefully provide some encouragement for other believers. I'll probably fall short here a lot, but maybe every once in awhile something I have to say or something I've gone through will help a fellow believer out. 4.) Show nonbelievers how great our God is. I know he's great, but many don't. He's done so much for me in my life, all of which I don't deserve at all. If I can reach one person for Christ from this blog in the next 30 years, I'll be overflowing with joy. 5.) Finally...I just want to glorify God. If my aim becomes anything else, I'll probably quit, or at least I hope I quit.

What I plan to include: 1.) I will try and comment on what I get from the Scriptures here and there, not every day, but every now and then. 2.) I will comment on the books I'm reading, previews, reviews, and hopefully something in between. 3.) I will share songs and hymns that have impacted me. In fact, this is probably how I'll begin. 4.) Anything else in my life that may pop up, but the boring details of my every day life, I'll keep to myself. And for my thoughts on baseball (mostly during the season), I'll refer you to Ground Rule Triple.
