First blog post ever

First of all, who in the world is going to read this?
My overestimated guess is: 3, each frequenting my blog once a month.
(i don't have 3 people in mind, i'm mainly thinking of 3 random people bored on the internet who happen to pass by on their way to a porn site)
oh, and Andrew Mulkey might visit a few times only because I said I'd do this if he did.

Here's another problem:
Potentially, there could be family members reading this, my good friends, my aquaintances, my fellow Christian brothers and sisters, and my non-Christian friends. I love them all and God bless them for actually reading my blog. But here's where the dilemma lies:
How personal do I get if my family is reading this?
If I talk about Jesus and the work of the Gospel in my life will that bore my non-Christian friends? Will they hate me for it? Or even worse, never view my blog again?????
How much will I censor what I really want to say because I fear what others (both friends and aquaintances and family) will think of me?

I think this is my answer:
I've got to just be who I am regardless. Maybe that's the point of a blog...not writing to entertain others but writing to express your true self. I sound corny. Enough of this.

Beware, I also overuse the colon(:)

therein lie both the beauty and the dilemma posed by online journaling. also, make sure you use cuss words sometimes to prove to some people that you're cool, and to prove to other people that you think deeply and wrestle hard with issues. see you around
