Time to Start Blogging Again

So why now? Why two years after the last time I did this have I decided to try and give it a go again? Will it last, or will this be a one off event that sits here as a testament to the one day that I got bored so decided to write something, decided to blog again?

I don't know! Its the answer to both those questions, maybe this will just sit here and be a strange post from 2009 that seems completely disconnected to the rest of the stuff, which is even older. Or maybe this will be the first of a long string of blogs which even start to get a blog following as many do.

Will anyone actually read it? Now there's a question. I wont get that following if not!

And why so many questions all of a sudden? Maybe there's my answer as to why I am even bothering to write this at all, maybe its all there. Maybe this is my way of trying to get my thoughts straight, trying to understand...

I have heard many times and even read the odd thing that says journalling is a great way to understand what it is that God is doing in your life and through your prayer life. So there you go, maybe that's why I'm doing this, maybe I'm finally facing my fear and writing down my thoughts and prayers. Now don't get me wrong, if this idea works, I'm not going to write down every thought and feeling I have about my life for the whole world to read, that's beyond inappropriate on many levels, but maybe this is the space I require to reflect on life, the universe, everything, God and His word.

I got a new Bible the other day, with a reading guide to get through it in a year. There's my challenge - read the whole Bible in a year, and reflect on here what God is saying and doing in my life. I don't know this journalling thing might work after all. So readings for day one...Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, Genesis 1, 1 Chronicles 1 and Luke 1:1-25
