So here it is; my first blog.

And here is my first blog post.

Yep.

And you’re reading it, so that is awesome. Thank you.

Well…

Oh, let me show you around. There’s some bloggy stuff over there, and over here is some really cool bloggishness. Oh, and if you look up, blog to the max. Wooooooooo.

Of course, one of the best things about having a blog is you get to say “blog” a lot. So I got that going for me.

Then you get to work the fact that you have a blog into every conversation you have from now on.

“You know, when I was posting in my blog the other day…”
“Sir, I just need to know if you want fries with that.”

“I’m so sorry, I’m trying to meet a deadline for my blog.”
“I’ll still need to see your license and registration, sir. Then you can explain to me why you drove through the cemetery.”

“Hey Keith, could you close the meeting with a prayer?”
“Sure thing. Dear Lord, as I was writing the other day in my blog, which you really should read some time, I think you’d find it inspiring…”

Yep, blogging rocks.

Good stuff.

Sure thing.

Still, I feel like I should be doing something more here.

Hey, did you know that “blog” is a contraction of “web log” and that it is now an accepted word in the English dictionary?

There, now I have been educational. What else can I do?

Oh, you’re looking very good today. Now I’ve been complimentary so I can check that box. Hmmm, what else?

Duh, should have started with this: God chose you before the foundation of the world.

Awesome. Scripturally accurate and spiritually affirming. I’ll get one of the shiny halos for sure now.

Still missing something, though. This is hard. Why did I start this thing in the first place? Wait here, I’ll be right back.

(Sound of footsteps leaving)

(Sound of footsteps returning)

THAT’S RIGHT. Silly me. I went to the “What is this place” section and reminded myself that this is mostly supposed to be about humor with some occasionally inspirational moments.

That’s what happens when you try to add purpose to a task you are assigned. Your job is to do the task assigned you as assigned you and let God fulfill His purposes in it. And with that occasionally inspirational revelation, I think we can call this initial blog post a success. This post is locked and rocked.

The next post will be about… something else… probably. Thanks for joining me for this one.
