Bloggers and Preachers Who Have Nothing to Say
I haven’t blogged this week because I have nothing to say. It’s not that there’s nothing going on in my life. Actually, I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed by some decisions I have to make. But I write this blog to get others to seriously think about life, not to complain about my own. You’d stop reading this if became just another blog about someone and their cat.
Recently I was talking to a friend about a preacher we heard, who over the course of half an hour, didn’t really say anything. We’ve actually had this discussion a number of times. For some reason, it seems that bloggers and preachers don’t really have a point to make, or want to make a point, or even know how.
Granted, we are an impossible audience. Because of podcasting, we can listen to the best speakers in the world anytime we want. The average collar doesn’t stand a chance.
People like me write blogs everyday, because that’s how to turn their hobby into a Google Adwords money maker and book deal. Preachers get up every Sunday, because that is their job.
What if it were okay to just say “don’t read my blog until I have something meaningful to share,” or “I’m not going to preach this week, because I didn’t find anything in text that would help you live like Christ.”
