			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes I wonder why people blog so much.  I like to keep a journal of my thoughts, actually it is really a recording of my conversations with God.  That might sound a bit freaky to some &#8211; but it has been the greatest tool for spiritual exploration, self-actualization, and overall personal growth.  I love it.  But do I want to plaster that all over the internet.  Are these personal, intimate thoughts meant for others.  I have often thought that maybe I will publish my journals one day. All of my deep dark secrets, all of my pains, joys, and fears.</p>
<p>Maybe my journaling isn&#8217;t so much about impressing others or even educating others.  Maybe it is more about personal exploration and spiritual evolution.</p>
<p>I also like words.  I like to play with words.  I don&#8217;t always have the most insight, or brilliance, but I do like to play with words.  I like learning how to use new words, different words, and words that rhyme.</p>
<p>I am beginning this blog to see why blogging matters.  Does it matter?  Will it matter in my life?  I like to read other people&#8217;s blogs, but will I like writing my own blog?</p>
