I'm not too crazy about blogs. The world is full of opinions and most of them aren't worth the time to read, much less post. I hear about people who stay up late blogging and can't help myself but think, "Don't they have something better to do?"
So I was very surprised the other day when Sheri asked if we should have a family blog.
Several images came to my mind. I pictured folks reading about our meetings, events, lessons, games, etc. which fill up our weeks and leave us breathless and cross-eyed by Friday evening. I pictured myself spending way too much time typing something nobody's going to read anyway. I pictured family and friends reading our blogs and confirming our dullness, poor spelling skills, and excessive use of commas. I pictured all kinds of people reading something I posted that was meant to be funny but taking it the wrong way and getting mad at me.
But in the end I decided, "What the heck? Let's try it."
The love we feel towards our family and friends is worth the time it will take to post a few thoughts and pictures. I might just have an opinion that may just inspire someone. I might just make someone's day a bit brighter. Better yet, our friends and family may get just a tad closer, warmer, and more open.
"Don't you have something better to do?"
Something better than getting closer to our friends and family? Something better than letting folks know how the boys are doing? Something better than to share? Become just a bit more open to friends, family, and the world?
Actually, I can't think of anything better to do.
