This is Deep!

I haven't really posted anything of much substance recently. It's funny how I feel a pressure to, I guess it's because I appreciate reading other peoples deep theological breakthroughs and learning experiences as well as the arb (this could be another SA slang word, not sure? Short for arbitrary) everyday events.

I love the discipline of blogging. I have never really considered myself much of a writer, but in my journey with God and with others I have needed to write things down...reflect and process stuff. This is where blogging has been extremely helpful.

Allowing others into 'Shane's World' has helped me 'check my heart' before posting stuff. Is my heart right? Am I just dishing something just because 'I' don't like it? Am I being idealistic? Am I being cynical? Is this space my spiritual dumping ground, knowing that I am not 'really' accountable here for what I say? What I mean is, I might get a gentle rebuke in my comments box, or worst case scenario, delinked! But if it gets too much I can just walk away. This cannot be the only place that my thoughts and processes are displayed and viewed. Thankfully it is not.
