Old Dog, New Tricks

First it was texting. I couldn’t see the point. But it was a teenage daughter that dragged me kicking and grumbling into the world of "lol" and "idk." And who would have thought it? It’s actually become something quite handy to use. LOL!

Now, here I am writing my first blog. I confess that the very idea of blogging made me think of the title of a country song recently referenced by a guest speaker. "It takes a lot of liquor to like her, so pass me another drink." Who reads all those words, I thought to myself? Between email, voice mail, snail mail, texting, and now Facebook - does anyone actually live life anymore? Or do we just write about it. But, I’ve got a church staff that thinks it’s a good idea, so . . . .

Who knows. Maybe in processing my thoughts through a blog, God’s Spirit would actually ignite a spark in someone’s heart - or maybe even in my own. Wouldn’t it be great if somebody actually responded and gave me some sermon material? Now there’s a thought. Somebody pass me another . . . er . . . iced tea??
