Why blog???

I don't like to type. My verbal skills are better than my writing skills (that's P.C. for "I am a lousy writer!") I tend to think and talk about many things at once. This makes it hard to write something that makes sense to anyone else but me. So why blog?

Why?
Big question.

I guess I am writing this for a very simple reason, I don't want to be alone. I want to be connected at some level with you all in this amazing crazy faith journey.

This summer has been awesome!! I really mean that. Both for Real Life and for me personally but it has also cost me. You know what I mean. You start feeling like you are a little stretched.

So I want to be more connected. It is my responsibility to reach out. So I blog. It is not the be all end all... Who knows if anyone besides Ric will even read it? (Ric edits me so I don't sound stupid - thanks Ric... no problem, Jeff) But it is me reaching out - reaching for connection - opening up so God can do something outrageous. God always over delivers!!! Just look at this amazing place called Real Life where I can blog about blogging.

We shot this week's episode of Mythbusters - funny stuff. We sure have some creative people around here! (Or are they just warped? I may not be the best person to decide that!) I like hearing about your journey too. You can do that on the "my experience" page on the website.

It's not the "be all end all" of connection either, but hey, it is a start! Who knows what outrageous thing God has in store for you.

talk some more soon
I'm out
