Its nice to be included on a list every once in a while as a blogger. Online Christian Colleges has me as a part of 55 pastor-bloggers of various kinds.

Blogging has grown into an important part of many of these pastors’ ministries as they try to amass membership in the church, as well as give potential attendees and the congregation a more personal view of their pastor by letting them catch a glance into their daily family life.

Its a humbling proposition to be ranked in the top 50 of Christian blogs in general, let alone a list such as this one.

Do lists like this mean anything to you my readers?

blogging

I have written yet another post this week about blogging, but decided to have a bit of philosophical or spiritual contemplation.

Is there a difference between being honest and authentic? What I mean to say is that I wonder how much people assess my honesty in order to adorn me with the legitimacy of displaying authenticity.

As a public person, a “professional Christian” and religious person I am well schooled on how to project what needs to be projected in the moment. We are all familiar with “I’m fine” as a standard “Christian” answer when greeted. If honesty would require me to say “I suck, and so does life right now and I do not have time nor desire to give you the time to explain the details” the response would either be laughter or disdain–depending on the relationship with the receiving party.
