Sometimes, I just know myself, that I'm not the sort of person who should blog. Very often I say things and write things without proper thought or care, and that is the nature of the beast. My motto should be "Please engage brain before opening mouth", and the same is true of some things I write.

Over the last 17 months, I have managed to offend many, and have written stuff that should never have been written. Why do I do this? What egotistical trip is it that bloggers think that they have anything to say that the world might be remotely interested in? In many ways, I used it, initially to pass on jokes and stuff I found funny, rather than emailing or forwarding the nonsense that I wanted to share with friends. It cut down the number of emails I sent!

To be honest, when I started, I didn't think anyone would be interested at all. I still think that few are actually remotely interested, and that is why often I write thoughtlessly. Reviewing stats for this blog, if they are to be believed, over 10,000 visits a month to the site, should remind me otherwise, unless people only look in to scoff!

The new Church Website gives me the opportunity to impart my parish news there as often as I like, and as a result am seriously contemplating closing this down.

Maybe it's something to pray about, but until I discipline myself properly, before shooting my mouth off, it may be the best thing. Now and again, I'm reminded that I am ordained and, as such, expectations are higher. I'm certainly thinking twice about the wisdom of being here, especially as one who suffers severe depressions, and often doesn't think too rationally.

Come to think of it, I'm lucky to be in a job!
