I'm no writer

This whole blog thing is pretty intimidating because so many fabulous writers have blogs. They are like those students who mess up the curve for everyone. Yes, of course I love reading their blogs... they are entertaining and vulnerable and witty and all around fabulous, just like I'm sure they are in person. But it makes it so hard for me, who is just a thinker, not a writer, to throw my hat in the ring--the bar has been raised too high. I wish there were leagues in blog-dom, where I could submit mine to the amateurs and not feel like I'm competing with the big dogs. And yes, your right, its not a competition. And as a simple thinker and communicator, not a writer, I will continue to post some thoughts and ideas for some people, some time, to read. But I will also feel a little small when all the blogs I read are getting book deals, and even though I would never, ever want to write a book (because I'm not a writer, and don't enjoy it) I will feel a little jealous and a little small some times. I know its childish, but that's one of the reasons we are called "children of God," yes? Because our perspectives get skewed and we want silly things, and as a result we entertain really immature emotions that God has to help us work through. I sincerely hope they continue writing their blogs, and their books, because I love to read them. They truly bring something bright and beautiful to this world. I guess I just hope that everyone else continues with their blogs too--because they are just as important, and worthy, and wonderful. Your thoughts count, even if your not the best writer in the world. And I'll read your blog too, some time.
