Why I Don't Blog

For my first blog entry, I woulD like tO write about why I doN'T blog.  Ironic I know.  Now, you are probably saying to yourselF, "who is crazy Enough to blog About why they don't blog?"  That's a gReat question, and the answer is definitelY "Luke."  HOnestly, I can't think of anything better to write aboUt that would give you a gReat indicatOr of the odd and different Way that I teNd to think about thinGs.


So, the fiRst rEAson I don'T blog is hoNEStly that I'm prideful and Selfish.  Sure, I work hard at covering this up with forced humility and graciousness; but the truth is that I think an awful lot of myself.  If I were to blog about all of my ideas and the different way I think about things, I would lose my uniqueness because all of you would now have access to the endless fount of creativity and brilliance that is my mind.


Secondly, I don't blog because it would actually force me to follow through with many of my "off rhythm" concepts.  I honestly like tossing an idea around in my head, and never allowing it to see the light of day.  This ensures I have complete control over my ideas and keeps them safe from criticisms of validity, logistics, and orthodoxy.  If my ideas were to reach the hearts and minds of the public I would feel a certain sense of responsibility to develop and grow many of the initiatives and plans that are in my heart.


To conclude, the reason you are actually reading this is because I've had something written in the back of my Bible for years and I've finally decided to do something about it.  One of my friends said this to me several years ago, and I was so impressed by the thought that I wanted to secure the statement within the protective leather shield of my Zondervan NIV Study Bible.  Even now I am still a little too insecure to share it outright because of the implications it would have for me if I were to communicate it to friends and family who might hold me accountable to it.  Therefore, the statement is provided to you through an oh so clever code that can be deciphered by reading the first five sentences of this blog.


If you can take your proverbial "mask" for a moment and honestly connect with any of these ideas, then I invite you to check my blog weekly.  I will post one entry each week that covers a gamut of different topics such as leadership, spirituality, and random/ brutally honest insights such as this one.  Thank you for reading.
