What is the purpose of this blog

This coming March it will be five full years that we have had this blog. Very soon we will be entering our sixth year. I have had a wonderful time here. It's possible I've been having too good a time, writing about whatever I feel like writing about at the moment, and sometimes really going far afield to find a topic to write about.

Yesterday morning, before I posted the blog on coincidences, I had looked through the three drafts of blog entries I had, and I didn't feel great about any of them. I was in a hurry, of course, and I picked the one I did simply by default because there wasn't a better one to choose.

After I posted yesterday's blog, I came to see more clearly that I really never had a clear idea of what the purpose of this blog really  is, and, so, too often I went off track. Yesterday's entry about coincidences didn't belong on the blog. What was the point of it? Even if someone named Akio had knocked on my door, what would have been the point?

A lot of people make a big thing about coincidences. When they do, they are impressed. The fact is I'm not! Oh, yes, coincidences do seem to happen, but what's the big deal. What do coincidences have to do with Heavenletters or Godwriting? Of course, God in Heavenletters says that there are no coincidences anyway.

I believe it's common knowledge that when we're interested in a certain make of car, for instance, we will see a lot of that make of car on the road. It's not a new discovery that what we focus on is what we get. When we focus on coincidences, we find them. And so God tells us to focus on our blessings.

By chance, some of the blog entries I've posted have been related to Godwriting and Heavenletters. Recent ones would be the one about Golden Light, the one about what Godwriting sometimes is like, the one about resentment which showed a leap ahead for me.

I love sharing on the blog, and now I think it would be better if I focused on topics that relate to what's significant and not just altogether what's going on in my life because I feel like writing about it. I think that there's been a lot of my ego spread around in my blog, as if I can write and post anything, as if whatever I write is worthy because I wrote it and it's about me. I am seeing differently now.

The purpose of Heavenletters is to bring us closer to God. What is the purpose of this Godwriting blog?

It feels to me that I've been playing around. Now play is good, yet how much of it belongs here? Travel, book reviews belong. I suppose family stories where I learn something belong here.  Dealing with human emotions has a place here. Heaven Admin stories fit, for he is such a force. I don't think my computer frazzles belong. I don't know about a lot of the topics that I have written about.

A while back, I discovered that the way I was doing a blog wasn't the proscribed way. I felt pretty good about that.  Now I don't feel so good about it. I think there will always be variety here, just maybe not so much, maybe more related to what God says. I don't mean that this blog is to be a commentary on Heavenletters either, for Heavenreaders already post fantastic insightful amazing comments  on the Heavenletter Spiritual Community Forum. I don't know of any better comments anywhere.

I also wrote earlier how much your responses mean to me. They always will, and yet my relishing your comments is certainly not the purpose of this blog.

I would like to be growing closer to a newer better richer Godwriting blog.

Tomorrow I will have more to say about this.

As someone who tends to be too serious, at least in writing, I appreciate lighter things, fun things, unnecessary things.

I understand that very well. More about this tomorrow, dear Jochen.

No matter what the focus is of your blog, YOU will always be in it, your humor and self-honesty and genuine love of God and mankind shining through to uplift us.
