Blogging, for me, isn't so much about splaying my thoughts onto a page, spitting them into the wind, whether or not they stick to anything. Rather, it's an outlet for me to reach people that I would otherwise cower from in person.
I want my words to matter to you.
When I write about my family, I want you to laugh, cry, bristle in incredulity, take some thoughts to heart, and maybe even provide me with some constructive criticism and helpful aids. When I write about religion, I want my readers to read, process, and maybe even expand their belief system.
Again, I want to be relevant.
So, here's the question. Have I been? Has anything I have written since I began blogging in February, 2011 mattered at all to you? Do you look at religion differently? Are you more knowledgeable in biblical matters? Does agnosticism hold any value to you at all? How about family? Do you own your mistakes and your past and look ahead and love and enjoy what you currently have?
I'd love to know that I am not writing to the choir. While that sells ads, books, and the like, the true satisfaction for me would come from one person - yes, just one - telling me that I have changed their minds on something - even if it is simply that they like heavy beer now, rather than Coors Lite horse pee.
Love,
I. C.
