Thoughts on Christian blogs

Christian blogs tend to be a little boring. I guess that's the nature of these things, that:

1. You write after a particularly divine revelation and therefore write rather seriously/humorlessly, still reeling from the shock of the encounter with God.

2. You, or rather I, think that I should cut away the flowery language. Afterall, it's not a good time to show-off when u're meditating about God. I know this assumption doesn't really hold water, Donne and Herbert wrote lots of beautiful verses that impressed readers as they exalted God. But I'm not that talented la...

3. It's written for personal reference. And I like to cut myself some slack. =)

4. Being personal, details are unnecessary because you were there and you know.

5. Again, because it is so personal, there are certain details and weaknesses that I'm still hesitant and unwilling to share online. And as we all know, it is often the detail that makes any read riveting.

As it is, this probably explains my dilemma. Where I make this blog public, linking it to my online profile in order that I might be witness to God's majesty and work in my life. (Now that I feel more confident about admitting that I'm Christian... another long story.) Yet, I am hesitant to publicize it coz I don't want this to reiterate (yet again) the boring, stuffy Christian stereotype which is absolutely inaccurate.

Sometimes, I think I think too much. Should have just put the whole lot above into prayer.

*sheepish "heh!"*
