Well, I have a lot of stuff that I could blog about, but most of it seems just to be in bits and pieces scattered all throughout my brain. (Did you know that the word, ‘brain’ consists of the same letters as my name, ‘Brian,’ except the ‘i’ and the ‘a’ are reversed? Did you also know that quite often girls will mispell my name by switching the order of ‘i’ and ‘a,’ thus spelling ‘brain?’)
So anyway… I’m finding it hard to actually sit down and start blogging about a specific topic–I don’t think that’s unusual though. My friend Christine calls her blog Scattered Brainwaves, that little saying could describe my present state of mind.
I wonder sometimes if I think too much. It’s like I try to define everything, figure out the right way to do something, find a reason for something, figure out the appropriate way to behave around people. It’s probably okay to think too much; sometimes it’s a lot of fun. But this week I was starting to wonder that maybe I should think just a little bit less… and pray a little bit more.
Among my many thinking, I’ve been thinking about how I like the blog aspect of our culture. I think they are a lot better than message boards, because there isn’t like this power struggle going on. Everyone has their own space, and yet there still can be a community.
I saw Jesus work through me this week.
I think it’s silly how we humans just want to be better. Better people, better friends, better lovers, better christians, better… better… better… I think when we start living our life in the getting better mindset we become the lump of clay shouting to the potter, “Please, give me a bigger rim, and a longer spout.”
