Introspective Introspection

I didn’t blog very much last week for several reasons: 

  • Had very little time to

  • Reagan’s death

  1. Didn’t want to post politics (national week of mourning)

  2. Didn’t want to enter debate of Reagan – good or bad

  • Was listed as one of the “Things I intensely dislike today” by Supafine and being disliked is not high on my list of things that make me feel good about myself

  • Was listed as “BW Beltway Blogger” by Jollyblogger and was honored to be listed, but was described in a way that made me feel kinda superficial.  (by no means is this Jollyblogger’s fault)

So this caused me to evaluate what I’m doing here and what I like and dislike about my blog and what I blog about.

LIKE

DISLIKE

Passionate about subjects

Argumentative

Straight to the point

Blunt

Religion – Jesus Christ

My whole personality does not come through

My Faith

Not humorous

Politics

Lacking of compassion

Baseball

All aspects of my life do not come through

Controversial issues

Controversial issues

Current events

Too worldly and not enough “In but not of”

I’m not sure I really have the answers to changing the things I dislike about it or even if I really do need to change them. But I’m recognizing some things that bother me and spending some time reflecting on that. This has been a common theme in my life the last couple weeks – reflection. There will be more to say about that another time. 

There are some things I’d like to change about the layout/design as well, but have not had the time to dig into Moveable Type to figure it out and that’s not necessarily the introspective introspection I’ve been very concerned about either.

Seriously. If you're concerned that reactions to the entries you write are an indication of what people think of you personally, you should stop blogging immediately. As long as you're happy with what you put in your blog let the world roll off your back if you want to put stuff out there for everyone to see.

DaB, I appreciate what you are saying and thank you for the words of encourgement. I generally do not worry about what other's think of me, but this needs to be put into perspective from time to time. My concern about other's reactions to me, is my attempt to make sure that I am reflecting Christ in the ideas that I convey, whether they be on a blog or in real life.
