Where is it? Who
is it? Is the “Blog-0-Sphere” made up of
intelligent life or mind-numbed robots?
When I see and read a blog, and then return back later to
see the flavor of those who respond, it often provokes a plethora of
emotions. Sometimes their passive indifference
which invokes a simple, “OK” when I read it; while other times, I become inflamed and aggressive,
blurting out, “Are you kidding me?”
The range of my emotions and responses can vary: intriguing,
challenging, boring, pointless, serious, inflammatory, interesting, and if I
can be honest, sometimes really stupid and irrelevant.
In the blog world everything is anonymous. Not just the people but often the
purpose. What is the real purpose in the
“Blog-O-Sphere”? How would YOU answer
that question? Do you want to be
provoked, encouraged, or admonished? Do
you want to be actively involved or a passive bystander? What’s relevant in your world, in the corner
of your internet galaxy? What shape and
form should a spiritual blog take on. Is
it the thrill of a challenge, the simulation of debate, the fresh thought of a
new idea, or the encouragement of an uplifting story? I guess, I’m asking what makes a blog meaningful in YOUR spiritual life?
My son, if you accept my words and store up
my commands within you, 2 turning your ear to wisdom and applying
your heart to understanding, 3 and if you call out for insight and
cry aloud for understanding, 4 and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure, 5 then you will understand
the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD gives wisdom, and
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:1-6
