Who are the Brain Police?

The other day I noticed that one of my favorite blogs had disappeared from the 'net. After a quick e-mail to the author, he let me know that he had just changed his address. Some people from the ministry he works at got wind of his blog and almost had him fired.

Turns out that blogging is "self-centered." And being self-centered is an indicator that he's in poor spiritual health.

I just can't stand the way some Christians feel it's their duty to see everything in the most negative light possible... For instance, his blog is "self-centered" -- why not "introspective"? Or "self-examining"? Or even how about "a hobby"?

Thank goodness that the finger-pointing brigade has set all of us straight on the spiritual dangers of blogging. Now that's done perhaps they can concentrate on feeding hungry people, welcoming strangers, clothing the needy, and looking after sick people and prisoners.

As long as none of them blog.
