To Blog Or Not to Blog

Why Not Blog?

Well, aside from all of the possible time wasted that should be prioritized for other things (which is my wife's perfectly valid main concern), I keep thinking about this:

2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.
3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.
4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.
5 Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.
6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,
8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness.
10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.
11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
12 My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. (James 3:2-12)

It seems like blogging opens me up for not just more chances to "set my life on fire," but to publish it while I do!

On the other hand, there is much good that can come from it, too.

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. (Proverbs 10:21)

A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. (Proverbs 25:11)

So, this is just a trial for a couple of days to see how it goes.
