my friends bullied me into writing this stupid blog

I am writing this blog…somewhat reluctantly. I honestly didn’t want to do it…or to give anyone the idea that I think I have something so important to say about anything. But a few close friends have bullied me and harassed me to do it. So, in order to get them to shut up and leave me alone, I said I’d do it for a few months and then prove to them that it wasn’t worth it. It’s a waste of time. The world does not need another blog.

So, as I have been thinking about the things I want to write, it became clear to me that I stand on the shoulders of giants. If I have anything to say that sounds profound or insightful, it is primarily because of Jesus, the giver of all things. It is not my intention to appear profound. My hope is that you might get a fresh view of Jesus and might find some encouragement, that you think about some things you’ve never considered, or even get pissed off and irritated. Feeling something is better than feeling nothing; right?

Secondly, it is because I know very well it is because other people who love Jesus shared their lives with me. Those people were kind enough to let me hang around and walk beside them. They taught me not only in word but also in deed. They showed me how to follow Jesus by simply inviting me to tag along with them as they lived their life. So, whatever I have to say is merely a mixture of all that others have poured into me. All the ideas on this platform, I want to pass on to you with the hope that it will encourage you in your companionship with Jesus and with others.
