is blogging relevant?


does anyone blog anymore? i was in a conversation the other day and a friend noted he was reading a blog and was impressed with a perspective offered by this author. i remembered that i had a blog at one time that was an opportunity for me to journal, reflect, and critique my vocational journey. however, upon taking a job as a lead pastor, i neglected my blog and have let it sit still in cyberspace and collect cyber-dust. i just logged in for the first time in months and to my surprise - it was still there...like a neglected toy in a child's basement: dirty, dusty, limp, lifeless.

i don't know if anyone reads this blog anymore nor do i know if anyone blog's anymore. i suppose i could search that question via google magic but i am not sure my return would inform me. i know that there are blog's out there, my question is, is this form of communication relevant anymore?

i had a grand idea that i ought to resurrect this site for those in my community so i could communicate during the week on what i am reading, studying, preparing, contemplating, watching, etc. and this could be useful/helpful to those in the community as they seek to center themselves in the Lord via community. is this a valid thought or does it seem rather 2005? i post this wondering if anyone will respond or are my followers much like this site: abandoned.

grace/peace
