Keep it Simple, Stupid

No, no, no.  You're not stupid.  I'm talking to myself.

It's true though.  I waste countless hours fretting (okay, not really fretting) over what this blog should look like.  I've tried virtually every template Blogger has to offer, and more recently I've taken to looking at (and even trying a couple) third party templates.  But what is it all worth, people?  Nothing, really.  I'd rather not have an advertisement written all over the template.  So, I'll stick with this for now.

I know - white.  How original. You've got to admit though, it's clean, it's crisp, and it's a lot easier on the eyes than white text on a black background (oh wait... that's my other blog...).  It's a good deal.  White has been serving people very well for many a year, so I thought I'd keep up the trend.

Followers?  Really?

I like this idea of having followers - one of the new features Blogger has added.  At least it lets me know I'm not just writing this blog for myself.  However (and I realize they probably called it "followers" for convenience's sake), I don't really agree with calling it "followers".  Followers makes it sound like you're following some sort of cult, and I happen to be the leader.

Ummm... no.  Jesus has followers - as He should.  But me?  No.  You aren't my followers, and I am not your leader.  You just happen to read my blog - which I do appreciate!  I hope you've gotten, are getting, and will continue to get something out of it.  Nothing would make me happier.  Just know that I write it with the goal of being a good follower of Jesus, and thus trying to reflect Him as much as I can in it.
