Another blog

I love to write. A blog is a good place to practice my skills. The problem is I have started several blogs over the last few years and haven't been faithful to any of them.  So what is my response to this realization? Of course, start another blog!

OK, stop laughing. I really am going to do this.  I am calling it  Spirituality For The Common Man because I am after all a spiritual guy.  I purposely said spiritual instead of religious because I  do see a difference. And I consider myself to be a common man. Common in the sense that I am just another human being put on this earth at the proper time to accomplish certain things as I learn to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

In the past I have blogged about fitness, photography, cycling and yes, even spirituality.  I intend to make this blog primarily spiritual, but I will write about other passions of mine as well.  Could be about running or photography or writing, but I will always try to find a spiritual application.  That is after all who I am.

So what is my purpose for writing.  Well, to practice my skills for the bigger writing projects I have in mind is certainly one purpose.  More importantly, I hope that as I share my insights that I get from following what I believe to be the "way of the cross", I may be able to help other disciples discover their way as well. And most importantly, maybe there will be readers who stumble on my humble efforts who are not followers of Jesus Christ and will become followers as they read my thoughts.

My first project will be to delve into Romans 12. There are 24 admonitions in that one chapter of the Bible that if followed would go a long way in helping us be better disciples. Stay tuned.
