Obedience

As this semester comes to an end, this assignment comes to an end, and perhaps this Blog comes to an end. I don't really like Blogs, and I realized why yesterday. Some blogs are useful in allowing people to keep up with each others' lives. I appreciate this aspect of blogs, but I still do not utilize them for this purpose. The reason that I don't like blogs was articulated by a friend of mine in the opening post of his blog. By writing, we assert on all of our readers that we have something to say. And not just something to say, but something worth writing. And not just something worth writing, but something worth reading. The amount of valuable content already available on the Internet is astounding. Sometimes mind-boggling. The amount of worthless content online is sickening. So, why should what I write be worthwhile to anyone? I don't even proof-read. I don't think any blogger does, though.

Why have I posted every week, aside from it being a requirement of my religion class? I hope that I have done it in obedience, in a sense. An servant of God asked that faithful followers of Christ be prepared to give a reason for their faith. In more recent times, another servant of God suggested that the Internet was a useful way to do that. I don't know if these words will benefit anyone other than myself, but I'm glad I've done it, because I have been asked to do it. I am almost certain that I will not post as frequently in the future. At least not about religious matters. But I will try to be active in the global online community, in the discussion of religion. Signing off, Steven Foote
