To Be A Fool…

Why does a person start a blog, anyway? This might be a huge question among people who don’t blog, but for those of us who have been blogging for awhile, the question should be, “why DON’T people blog?”

I suppose there are a myriad of reasons that people blog.

1. They like to talk. Maybe I just like talking to myself. My first blog, I was shocked that people actually were reading what I have to say. After all, blogging was more a way to get thoughts OUT of my head, and into a journal type setting than it was a platform to communicate with others.

2. They want to keep friends and family updated. Sure. My adoption blog was specifically for that purpose. We were adopting our daughter from Ethiopia, and wanted everyone to be able to keep up with our amazing news from day to day without all of the long distance phone calls (thank God we now live the life of all-inclusive broadband phone service!).

3. They have a cause. That brings me to the purpose of THIS blog. A cause. I have a burning inside of me to write about my faith in Jesus Christ, as well as bringing attention to the deep needs of people around the world and the organizations that bring help to them (and don’t forget the random and senseless ravings about anything else I can think of to write).

So let’s begin, shall we?

A fool for Jesus,
