So... Sometimes I really want to blog.
But I'm not sure what to say.
And sometimes I know exactly what I want to say.
But then I realize I don't want you reading that! (Oh my...)
So... Sometimes I really want to blog, but I don't.
Don't get me wrong... It's not that I don't want to share my thoughts.
It's more like... I don't want to scare you away :-P.
In fact, sometimes I have to wonder if it's too late for that anyways!
I suppose not... or you wouldn't be reading now... So here goes!

Now I know blogging was supposed to be a huge "fad" to hit the ceiling...
but really I think people just wanted a point of connection.
Face to face confession and confrontation makes us nervous.
If you show someone who you really are then you are giving them a chance to reject you.
On the other hand... an online confession means you don't have to watch their reaction.
Now isn't that the chickens way out!
Now let me back up a second... I am not dishing on blogging, or facebook, or IM.
Actually... I love all of these. It's very cool to be able to see little blurbs of peoples' lives.
But sometimes (and I'm sure you done this too) I need a friend...
and instead of a phone call I just start typing away to save the day...
(Otherwise known as "to beat the band")
BTW... why do we "beat the band"?
My cousins were in the band and I gotta say I know this "sport" beat you up enough
without everyone else joining in on a beat the band member marathon.
Ok... side note over.
If you know me well enough... Then you know I enjoy saying things like...
"Note to Self" and "Side Note" or maybe you've heard this one: Maning Raviac!
(OK I'll be honest, that was a recent one time hysterical mistake... but I liked it! haha)
Mostly I like quarky little things that make people laugh.
Truthfully, I really love to see people laugh.
Not the fake guffaw that says "This is so awkward cuz you're so not funny"
Or the forced chuckle saying "I wish I weren't here right now ucz you're so boring"
No... I love the laugh that makes people glow and bubble with amazing awesomeness!
Because that is what our God is - Amazing Awesomeness!
And all of that amazing awesomeness was put into you and me,
we were made to bring Him glory, and I think our laughter brings Him joy too.
So back to blogging... Who ever thought of the word "blog" anyways?
It sounds so... boggy. I dunno. It works... obviously, since we all now know what a blog is.
So congrats to the genious who thought it up... and I suppose thank you...
Because like I said... I like blogging.
I think it's because I enjoy sharing my thoughts.
Fact 1: I enjoy sharing my opinion.
Fact 2: I enjoy teaching.
Fact 3: I enjoy learning.
Fact 4: I enjoy conversation.
Fact 5: I enjoy writing.
Fact 6: I enjoy reading.
Fact 7: I enjoy You.
There- 7 is the perfect number and those are 7 perfect reasons to blog :)
(Cheesy, I know.)
Alright well... if you made it this far through my blog then you deserve a reward.
So this is tonight's goody...
I wrote a very small poem/verse...
And honestly, I debated on sharing it but here ya go...
There's no title, but I think it speaks for itself fairly well.

"I hold my lips shut tightly
So I don't say what's on my mind
Cuz I can't take the risk and tell you
I don't want to be left behind
It's too easy to lose what you've got
Even though I don't have you
I'm not about to let go
And in spite of all this craziness
I still want you to Know
But I hold my lips shut tightly" - (C) 2009 LMF
