Back in the Blogging Saddle Again!
Or, Take the Blogger's Pledge to Resume Blogging!Okay, inhabitants of Xanga Land: It's time to step back from Facebook for a little while and dust off our Xanga (and/or Blogger, and/or WordPress, and/or LiveJournal) blogs! I confess to having been a bit smitten with Facebook recently, but I have truly missed Xanga - the reading of other Xangans' blogs (and many of my fellow Xangans seem to have been bitten by the being smitten with Facebook bug as well) and especially the writing of my own blog(s). I can come up with only so many cute and entertaining short sentences for my Facebook status. Can we say, "BO-ring!!!!"??? I don't know about you guys, but even though I am in EIM (Extreme Introvert Mode
), I enjoy having a moderate sized readership here at Xanga. I *like* to put out new blog entries and be read by complete and total strangers from every continent and from many different countries, as is evidenced in my Xanga feedback log (behold the power of using tags to drive up search engine traffic). I get a thrill from that. The only thing that would feel better to me would be to actually write a book and have people write me fan mail. Ha ha.
I challenge each of my fellow Xangans/Blogger/WordPress/LiveJournal friends to get back in the blogging saddle again. You friends have the gift of writing wondersome things and sharing fantastic photos. By all means, let's continue our private friendships and family connections on FB, but let's not neglect our public blogs! God has something unique to express to the world through each of us in our individuality; let's continue to share the Good News of Jesus Christ via our public blogs - whether it be overtly or whether it be indirectly.
C'mon! Let's take the pledge to blog again! Let's back off from Facebook for awhile, or at least give our Xanga blogs equal time to FB.
May blogging blessings abound for each and every one of you! And to those of you who read blogs but don't yet write them: I challenge! encourage! exhort each of you to start a blog! It's good for you, and it's good for the rest of the world! You have something to say! You really do! God gave you the gift of life and created you and called you to be distinctly YOU. You don't have to blog like anyone else does; you have something special and wonderful to bring to the blogging table just by being you in all of your you-ness. Please do share with the world. Lives can and will be changed for the better if you do. I mean that!
God bless each of you! I really do pray for each person who visits my blogs.
