I wrestle with this (ie – blogging in ways that are God-centered), so thank you for the wise reminder.

Thanks, Kathryn:-). I guess it takes a while to think out and write the blogs, and it's sad if it dies within a day. Twitter can extend the shelf-life of blogs:-)

P.S. Interesting to see a Cathryn with a “C”!

While I understand why it is done, I am sometimes alarmed by the relentless promotion of blogs on Twitter. This alarm includes the distress evident when something went wrong with Twitter a day or two ago. I thought, hang on a minute, it isn't exactly life- threatening. But maybe I'm missing something… I love to read whatever I can about the spiritual journey of other people, no doubt about that.

I concur, write what is in your heart…God is always in my heart so I must write what He gives me to write. He is a wonderful muse and the best writer/blogger there is…ha, no wonder His book is the number one bestseller of all time! Blessings, and keep on writing Christian Sister!

Thanks, Mum of 12 and Nancy. Mum of 12, yes the audience keeps us going. It would be hard without it!

Nancy, I just googled to get those lists, and so I suppose US bestselling Christian authors showed up!

You have some thought-provoking comments on the spiritually dangers of blogging about personal prayer life etc. I tend to be very private about my relationship with God. At the same time, I'm well aware that that is what provides the well on which I draw and sometimes the struggles will appear (often indirectly) on my blog and sometimes the joys. I love your Edith Shaeffer quote. I think the lists at the start of your post have a strong US consumer bias, especially the most read Christian authors.

I think people blog for lots of different reasons. For me, I really want to chronicle some of our family's history. Having an audience forces me to keep going. What writer doesn't want to be read?
