Routines are good. Even before deciding to cut back, I was spending a lot less time composing posts. I look back sometimes and I am kind of amazed at some of things I managed to post. <br><br>As I wrote, I don't want to become a hack. I want to write original things in an insightful way. Blogging is a natural fit for me because I am free. Anyone who wants to read what I wrote is free to do so, or not to do so. I am beholden to no one. I don't even have a blogmeter on this site. I have no idea how many people visit here. My guess is not many. I went through the whole struggle about why I blog. Initially I would very discouraged, but I realized that if I couldn't just write and throw it out there, not really caring what happened, then it would be best not to blog.Dcn Scott Dodgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09994604395739905637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-76547008232562292492010-08-31T07:01:46.516-06:002010-08-31T07:01:46.516-06:00Your Humility boggles the mind! I found you due to...Your Humility boggles the mind! <br><br>I found you due to your Traffic. Imagine that. <br><br>You know, I feel very trapped, I guess is the word. <br><br>I started my Blog with a genuine intention. I wanted and strove to keep it, well, "holy" in the aspect that it would be my take on the Church. How I interpreted Fr.'s Homily's. He is a very Charismatic Speaker, and the way he expresses himself...very in your face and to the point, which I Love! <br><br>And then...well, writing has always been cathartic for me, as I'm sure for many. Writing, the ability to SEE what I think, many times helps me to place, to put things in order. And I find myself doing that a bit too much. Not that it is necessarily a bad thing...just perhaps not the right Blog for it. Does this make sense?<br><br>Here's the flipside though...as a Human Creature, I know that I am flawed, that we all are. I know that we live in a fallen world. And the fact that I do sit "in the pews" does not exempt me from this status. Therefore, many times I say to myself, I am in the pews, I sit in the Hospital for Sinners, so why not represent that as well. It would also make the Blog a Witness of sorts. Because though I am a Sorry, Sinful Creation, and though I sit in such a Holy Place, and though I sin repeatedly, I still TRY to reach that Straight and Narrow...<br><br>Great, I just used your space to "visualize."<br><br>I guess I am grateful that I have become so busy with other activities and Blog less, because I can completely empathize with your becoming a Hack dilemma. That is precisely what I was doing. Not because I lacked topics, but because I was,err, I AM limiting myself.<br><br>This is where your final statement drives the point home for me...Perhaps, just maybe, I should just "throw it out there."<br><br>Thanks for the insight, as usual!fromthepewshttp://fromthepews.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
