Yes, I Blog Too

It's an interesting phenomenon - blogging. I have enjoying reading those of my friends for a couple of years. It's gives one the freedom to argue, challenge, and oppose ideas that one disagrees with, without actually having to say it to one particular person. It is the easy way out - I recognize that. I would rather have a conversation about anything I post than this one-sided conversation. What a wonderful gift it would be to have someone reply, "hey, me too. i understand how you feel; let's talk about it." Then, I wouldn't feel so strange.

The title of my blog, "How All Were Very Busy" is a chapter title in one of C.S. Lewis' Narnia books, Prince Caspian. I really loved the picture it paints. Lewis probably thought, "well, in this chapter, all the action has to unfold. a million different storylines and themes need to merge. what should I title it?" My hope is that in blogging, I will encourage myself and others to be still, to take a break from all the list making and rushing to think about things outside their small world. I've learned that sitting still is an almost impossible task for me. I have a million thoughts running around in my head all day long. I hope this blog gives me the motivation to dwell on the bigger picture. If you enjoy reading, let's have a conversation about it.

I was blessed to hear God speak through Louis Giglio recently, and he said, "We often make the mistake of thinking that because we were moved, something happened." It's time we took action. If poverty breaks your heart, do something to fix the problem. If you believe something is ethically wrong, take a stand. Let us all be moved to action, not merely moved.
