I'm not sure why everyone I know has one.
In some cases it seems the guys who perfected the art of procrastination when it came to writing papers back in the college days now have blogs where they choose to write in free time. Maybe it's because they can write about whatever they want, with no worry of anyone offering criticism or the chance to be confronted by truth, or at the very least, a differing perspective.
I'm sure some of them actually enjoy (or have enjoyed) writing for some time & now the technology has caught up enough that everyone who wants to broadcast what they're thinking can.
I know of some who think having a blog is a logical step/progression to being published someday.
Whatever the motivation, it sure seems that everyone & their brother is blogging about something or another.
As for my motivation, well, I just like talking. It's that simple. I enjoy talking with people about the things that are going on & hearing from them what happening in their lives. I'm planning on writing primarily about what I do full-time - student ministry. I'm passionate about what I do & will look to share the specific things I'm doing/thinking.
I'm sure there will be other ideas/issues that will pop in my head from time to time that will find their way on here. My hope is that in time, some people will actually begin to read it...find it interesting...& engage in a dialogue.
I'm thinking to post about the similarities between how people think about ministry (probably most of life in general) & physical fitness. It should be interesting.
