Why Do I Do This?
Earlier this week, I had an anonymous person post the following...

i cant seem to figure out why you post your everyday lives on the internet, this is the most random thing i have ever come across. why do you "blog" it seems like a hard concept to grasp. well may god have mercy on you when we are judged. sorry if i offend you but i will come back to see if you posted an answer.

I can't be 100% sure why s/he said "may god have mercy on you" but I'm guessing it was because of my endorsement of a shot Pat Oliphant took at Intelligent Design. I don't have any issues with I.D. or Creationism, I just don't believe it should be taught in a public school. If you want your child to learn I.D., then send them to a private school that teaches exactly what you want taught.

Why do I blog? That's easy, to let people who know me keep up with what's happen in my life. I originally started this to keep my folks up to date. Obviously because a blog is public, other family members started reading it as well as old acquaintances.

That's it in a nutshell.

    Firstly I have ZERO respect for anyone without enough courage to actually name themselves. Anonymity is for the guilty consciences.

    Next, we "Blog" so that our outlying family and friends, the ones we don't see or hear from very often, can keep up with the daily minutia of our lives. Other than that, it's nothing more than a soapbox that has been a tried-and-true part of democratic societies for centuries. The only difference between a BLOG soapbox and the original soapbox is that this one can be heard for more than the city square.

    I agree with you and BJC. It is a nice way of letting people know what is going on in a person's life. I don't blog myself, mostly because I am too darn lazy.

    A comment on the the person saying, "God have mercy on you". We will all be held accountable for our actions. God better have mercy on all of us or we are all in a world of hurt!

    Hope all is going well with the new house.
