Why a Blog?

I have a blog on our church website, but I'm almost the world's worst at updating it and we typically use it for promotion and announcements more than blogging. Facebook could be used somewhat as a blog, but since the unwritten goal of any dedicated facebooker is to have the most friends, and I've got a lot, it doesn't really fit what I'm going for here. A little smaller community I guess. So, I'm starting one with the good folks at blogger.com to post videos of songs, maybe write a little from what I'm learning in God's word, and if I'm lucky enough to remember the details, maybe I can even start writing some of the stories I hear from Pastor Mike.
