So here's my plan.
This blog is going to be based off of an idea I had this summer (with help). I was walking with two friends in Boston at UMASS Boston, and we were sharing with students around campus. During a break from sharing we were standing by the water, and I mentioned how God is the either the best at listening to small talk, or it's impossible.
That's to say that you can't really small talk with Him. There are two major reasons for this.
The first being that small talk is generally made to avoid talking about anything real (what's actually on your mind, anything unpleasant, rude, socially unacceptable, or just too personal). Since God already knows what is on your mind, and heart you can't hide it by making small talk.
The second (and the premise for this blog) is that even trivial things that typically serve as small talk are pretty amazing if you look at them from the perspective of "you're talking with the creator."
Now I will admit that the point of this is going to be to find the things that can bring glory to the Lord, and sometimes those things are not what we typically think of being glorious. ex. The entire book of Job
That said, I do not think I'm any better than anyone else at giving praise when bad things (or good things) happen, but by having this blog I hope it will help me to get better at it. If anyone else reading this gets anything out of it, well that's just an added bonus.
All for the glory of God.
