I have found that when I'm on my blog, there is a link at the top that says Next Blog. However, something completely foreign to me, something I've never seen or read, and certainly never written, is what appears there. It's someone else's blog.
I guess this is meant to help blogs to be found by new readers. It's just that I don't want my readers (if there be any) to mistake these sites as being related to me in some way.
It comes back to caring what people think of me, I guess. Will I ever stop? Maybe never, and I suppose it's limiting and controlling and making my life a little busier and more complicated to care what others think.
Caring about what others think makes me shower, fix my hair, brush my teeth, iron my clothes, write thank you notes, brush my dog and cat. I guess I would do those things anyway, but perhaps not quite as thoroughly or as often or as fastidiously.
Certainly I care what I think about myself regardless of what others may think of me.
This year I'm really going to try to care more what God thinks of me. In this regard, I want to keep in mind what truly motivates me to do what appears to be a good deed. If I'm only performing good deeds to the well-heeled, well-educated, and the politically correct, then I need to reconsider my true motives.
The days are long, but the years are short, and I'd like to get a few things right before it's too late.
