Why blog?

I have to admit that it is difficult to motivate myself to blog when: 1) I don't think anyone is reading this bad boy and 2) I really am not that interesting.  I guess it does give me a way to do some out loud thinking, which can be helpful.  

I am trying to learn to find total sufficiency in Christ.  I am also learning that you can't learn to let find your sufficiency in Christ.  Sure it's a process (sanctification) but can I really learn something like that?  Maybe the learning is giving up to Christ the things that I hold onto to feel some sense of self-worth, one by one.  If Christ is sufficient (and He most certainly is) then I need to not try and find fulfillment elsewhere, at least not in place of the fulfillment that needs to be found in Christ.  Man, I don't even understand what I'm talking about any more.

I really hope the Lakers beat the Spurs.  I think Duncan is a good player, and while I can't stand his whining, I mostly am OK with him.  Same with Tony Parker.  But I can't stomach this boring, cheap, chippy, team, with Bruce Bowen who can't do anything but annoy the crap out the opponents best player, Manu Ginoboli, who is better than he should be but is the biggest flop artist going right now and... Robert Horry.  Seriously?  THIS guy has won 7 rings?  To be such a low-bit utility player AND to be so dirty (Steve Nash anyone?) and to win all these championships when guys like Dominique Wilkins never really came close to a ring is a little too much to handle.
