What is this all about?
For years I used to carry a small notebook around with me to capture thoughts, questions and very occasional insights to ensure I would remember them. Some of these were developed and used in sermons, articles, blogposts etc. - others never got beyond the notebook.
These days the notebook has become digital and has made recording (and especially retrieving) ideas a lot easier. At the same time opportunities to share these thoughts have become fewer. No longer are there two, or even one sermon to preach every Sunday, my blogging days quietly died out years ago, and my daily work does not naturally provide many opportunities to share half-thought through ideas and wonderings.
No one suffers from this - that is apart from me, who miss the chance of sharing thoughts and getting wiser due to feedback and exchanges. Even just the discipline of writing helps me to develop my own thinking, so basically this attempt at a blog is pure self-therapy. Should anyone be inspired, blessed, intrigued, provoked - basically any reaction beyond bored, it will just be an extra bonus.
