Blogging as therapy

I sometimes wonder why I love the blogosphere so much ? Is it, as the critics expound, because I fear flesh and blood relationships - not really. Is it because I love the technology - a little . But as the article I linked to two blogs back adhers to, I love blogging because it is therapy .

1. journaling has long been known to aid self reflection , personal growth and spiritual formation, for the jesus follower ....to become more like Him. Blogging does this.

2. I can get to know personally, intimately and deeply my heros, I know what the people I aspire to be like had for supper last night, their struggles, their humanity, their disciplines. Blogging does this.

3. I feel I can express, I can publish, I can influence in a new way.. To all 2 of my regular visitors. Nah joking, it's actually 3. Blogging does this.

4. The Western world is really one flow of humanity going through extremely similar experiences.. I know americans, australians, nz, irish, scotiish, germans, scandinavians, all flavours of western missionaries, church planters, entrepreneurs, activists and thinkers. Blogging does this.

End of preach.

Have a jesus filled Sunday, love your family more than ever and serve till it hurts.
