Blogging hurts

by Hobbes - Published: June 1st, 2008

I enjoy blogging, but it hurts. It hurts because I think so intensely about a particular topic while I write it. Not that this results in particuarly profound thoughts, as both of my readers will testify. But, God keep me from posting flippant, trivial things that litter the Internet. More than that: Keep me from engaging in the reckless and unrestrained exposure of my personal spiritual life to (potentially) the entire world - like some sort of “spiritual pornography”, I guess. That’s not going to happen here.

  1. Hmm. That’s pretty much all I know to do.

  2. Kyle, I think your blog amounts to far more than “spiritual pornography”! Surely Neumatikos is a model of restrained openness!

    I was thinking of those believers who post things of the heart and mind that only God should be a witness of. After all, the apostle Paul dabbled in disclosure of a personal kind in the pages of Scripture. But, we never get to read about the gory details. There is a line that we should never cross.

  3. I thank you for your charity, but since the distinction hadn’t occurred to me before, I don’t know that I qualify for praise.

    I usually draw the line at saying anything that might hurt or offend an affected party who reads what I have to say. I have become much more circumspect since one of those potential readers became my wife. How often I have had a perspective that I refrained from expressing because I could see how she might feel what I had to say left her exposed.
