afterthought

I feel like going to have put this out there. Just struggling to figure out the right way. The other day I felt frustrated by some blogs that I follow and in some respects really admire(d). I actually follow a lot of different blogs and I do mean different. Just like other indulgences in my life there's a lot of variations... Some for creative guidance, some for humor... lots of "somes" in different shapes, sizes and purposes.

After time, and sometimes without the expectation you begin to become "connected" with these people through their blogs. And then sometimes, when you feel "connected" with people the expectations begin to grow. It's absurd because I don't "know" these people ... In these scenarios that is. All the personal sharing sometimes makes it feel like it's alright to judge or critique. I'm certainly not the person to publicly comment but I do take notes...in mind and surmise not always good/nice things.

All this led me to a thought the other day. I am a spiritual person and more than that I'm a religious person. I don't openly discuss a lot of matters here. Primarily because it's not the general focus of what I'm actually doing on here however it is a part of my daily life so why doesn't it make a more frequent appearance on my blog? I don't know if it's conviction or what but I have been thinking about it.

I actually possess quite a bit of knowledge on it. I was fortunate enough to have a lot of exposure and classes on Biblical matters growing up. But I don't feel like this is a platform for me. I don't think that I'm a person that is equipped to share certain things. At least not currently. I've read a lot of my non-devotional blogs lately and people have been discussing their personal views on religion/spiritual subjects and I cringe. A lot of it just hurts my heart to hear how people are searching for answers or missing the mark. I worry that my personal point of view will get mixed up in the true meanings in the real point and that's a big problem. I've never felt like religion is a cafeteria plan where you can pick and choose what you do and don't want so I stay within my comfort zone.

This is probably not the best approach but somehow I wanted to address it. I want to figure out how to incorporate it and explain why it hasn't been a blatantly present subject. We'll just have to see where it goes from here...
