OK -- here we go again with another blog. Who needs another blog - right? Certainly not me. Yet here I am,
starting a blog that I have no idea if anyone will want to read. Why?
I guess it's really pretty simple. I've always liked to try to
craft ideas and put them into words. When I write, it seems to clarify
things for me. When I visually see
what's going on in "Mark's World", sometimes the cleverness and
originality I think I have evaporates into a blur of meaningless text on a
page. Writing brings my world into perspective.
I love to talk
about ideas. I hope to capture some of them here and use this forum as a
collection point for them. Maybe this blog will provoke thoughts in
someone else. Maybe it won't – I really don’t know.
Starting a blog is a little bit intimidating. Opening my thoughts up to a broader world
carries a lot of risk. It is easy to be misunderstood
and unfairly criticized. Riskier yet, my ideas may be clearly understood and still excoriated for what
they are. I guess it’s a risk worth
taking. Please feel free to join me as I
ponder the things that make me think: things like faith, country, family,
economics, politics and the news of the day.
Maybe we can all understand life a little more clearly as we think
through the things that interest me as I "Mark" the times.
