New Year, New Look

A New Year’s resolution…of sorts.

I don’t agree with New Year’s Resolutions, we set goals to lose weight, or to do something new that is completely unrealistic. However, saying that, sometimes taking an opportunity to reflect on things in your life helps identify things that you started to do, but have slipped out of.

When I first set up this blog I thought I would use it to publish my thoughts on topics, and talks I had been involved with. However, that never really took off. Blogging was always allusive to me until now, when I suddenly realised how useful it can be – even against the opinion of the book I read this afternoon.

Social Media and its helpfulness.

While social media, according to some, should be kept out of church life, I believe that it has become such an intrinsic part of society, that we should be embracing it as a way of sharing opinion and truth. There is a warning with this thought though, when we become too focussed on getting us out there, rather than sharing helpful insight on topics which may confuse others. If, by our discussion, we end up causing more confusion, then what help have we been?

Time to start afresh.

It's time to make use of this blog as it was designed - a way of sharing my thoughts and ideas on truth. And I certainly have those. There is so much hurt caused by misinformation that I feel compelled to join the debate, and whilst I may not be as articulate as many of my fellow writers, you can rest assured that my heart is genuine.
