I've been thinking a lot about yesterday's post.  I've been thinking about this blog and it's reason for taking up space on the world wide web.  If I merely needed to write, then I could simply write in a diary or a personal blog ~ I don't need to impose my words on the world.  So it's obviously more than an act of purging words that are filling my brain. 

That conclusion leads me to question whether my daily writing is vanity-driven ~ i.e. I not only need to get the words out but I need to have them read by others, even if it's only one other person.  And that's not a very pretty conclusion.  Writing to get attention is neither self-satisfying nor a worthy pursuit.  Yet I am driven to write.  God gifted me with this ability.  Perhaps it's time to pray about this, sit quietly with this, seek some answers about this.

So if I'm quiet for a little while, don't be alarmed.  I am grateful for your presence and participation in this blog.  (If you sign up to be a "follower" then you will know when/if I post, but today's post was not written as a solicitation.  I say this from my heart that you are an important reason I post.  I'm just not sure right now about the bigger picture for my words.)
