What is the purpose of this blog? And why the dearth of writing?

Some see a blog as a personal journal, where they publish a very personal sort of writing. This is not me - plenty of what I write should never be seen, even by the 5 or 6 visitors who might someday come here. Others see a blog as the place to chart their internet exploring. I’m not sure anyone else is interested in the particular arrangement of things I read on a daily basis so I won’t bore you with the links or task my self with recording them. If I was an arbiter of what should be seen on the internet this might have some value, but I’m not – and I’m fine with that. The only reason I do document any pieces I read is because I want to document their importance and remind myself of their location. I conceive of this blog as the location of my public writing, as though I were a columnist with a daily responsibility to publish some interesting and well written thinking for the consuming public. So the items I write here are seen as having some purpose, some importance beyond just being interesting to me. If I’m not thinking on this level, if I’m not going to write. Frankly my intellectual and spiritual energy in the last 3 months has been focused on the Sonship material, a fairly intensive grappling with the failure of my personal discipleship. I hope that plenty of public reflection will eventually emerge from this study – but so far, it has been too close to be able to write very intelligently about it.
