Why blog?

Without any claim as to whether or not I am gifted in communication to any degree or in any form, the fact is, I love to communicate. Even consider myself a bit of a hack student of forms of communication. When listening, I engage (almost naturally) in such a way that I am almost studying the voice inflections and speech patterns of others. As I read it is not a style that is most easily comprehended that interests me but that style and structure that impacts me most. My wife is deaf and communicates in ASL (American Sign Language). Body language and especially facial expressions are a big part of signing so that even the choices made in the usage of these are interesting to me. As hearing people, our faces tell a great deal and also assist in communicating even while speaking verbally. I observe and listen and remember and adopt from others. When I am speaking to anyone or in public it is always my goal to be not only interesting enough to keep the attention of another but to be impactful and to come across as though I really believe what it is I am attempting to convey. So I am a student in those ways.
So why blog? I love communication. More specifically, I love to think on the things of God in the Christian faith and then give it away. The Bible impacts the way I think and live and work and do family and dwell with my fellow man and all my affections and interests in this world. These are the considerations that consume my thoughts and emotions as a sinful man living in a fallen world and by the grace of God endeavoring to live under His Word.
So will anyone care? Isn't there enough out there? What could be at all special about this spot where I (of all people) type? Well it's mine. And nothing special at all except in so far as what is communicated here is true. May it be that. Soli Deo Gloria
