Delusions of Grandeur?

After three days of praying and working on a name for a blog and trying to determine if I really wanted to go through with this, I have a blog. This is actually my 5th attempt at a blog…although it is only the 3rd that I’ve gone beyond setting it up to actually posting something…and I’ve only had one that I kept up for over a week.

I have this sense that, having a blog, I must feel like I can change the world or that I somehow think my voice is something that persons want to listen to and my words are something that persons want to read. I feel like, to have a blog, I must have delusions of grandeur…that this must be the pride that comes before the inevitable fall. And, for those who know my public persona as one who is very comfortable with public speaking and know that, as a preacher, every Sunday I stand up in front of persons and tell them what I think (or what I think that God thinks I should think on that particular day) it may come as a surprise that I don’t enter this blogging world lightly.

Yet, I think I have some things to say that are important to me. They might be important to my family and perhaps my kids someday. And, maybe, just maybe, I have something to say here as Pastor…as a United Methodist Pastor. Maybe…

Perhaps I do have delusions of grandeur. Perhaps I do think myself more highly than I am. Perhaps this is nothing at all.

I…hope…perhaps…not.
