Blogdacity
Recently, I was thinking, “Hager, who do you think you are, writing a blog and publishing it on the internet? What makes you think that you have anything to say on ministry that is worth someone else’s time reading? You don’t have a Phd. You have never written a book. You never have been a district superintendent, let alone a Bishop. You have been working on this documentary project for over three years and it is still not finished. What makes you think you have anything to say worth someone else’s time and energy?”
Then I realized a blog is different (sure is my spell checker doesn’t even recognize the word). It is not an article, a sermon, a thesis, it is merely one person sharing his or her journey, believing there might be something in there, a word, phrase, that might connect with another who has had similar life experiences. It is not offered as an expert or guru, but merely one person walking down a path sharing a conversation with another.
The internet is filled with new ways of communicating, but the blog is a wonderful exercise of one beggar sharing with another beggar, where he or she can find some bread. Please help make this blog interactive by sharing your comments below.
