Don't get me wrong. It's been a fun ride. But I'm done with blogging.
Three posts into my blog and I only have one follower. I don't know how many people have looked at my blog, but it can't be good. My Facebook Page has no fans, and I don't think anyone actually reads this thing. Clearly, no one appreciates my witty commentary on current events, hair bands, and the lack of symmetry on either side of my face. It's been a fun ride, but I'm done. I give up.
Now what if I were serious? Would it really be that out of place? Sure, everything I've said is true. I'm certainly not qualifying as a professional blogger. Should I quit, though?
So many people in our culture would say, "Absolutely!" That's the answer those people might choose for themselves, too. Young people, in particular, suffer from this lack of long-term resolve; how many commitments make it past that initial, exciting stage? How many marriages crumble in less than a year? "Well, if it hasn't happened by now, it probably won't."
At this point, I could tell you political junkies about Abe Lincoln's many character-building defeats. I could tell my Christian friends about the patience and faith of Job. I could tell you sports fans about Lou Montanez signing with the Orioles after nine years in the minors. Frankly, though, not that many people read my blog. Assuming that three different types of people hang on my every word seems a little pretentious.
So let me just say: Rome wasn't built in a day. Every path has its puddle. Where there's a will, there's a way. Pick your cliche. Just don't give up.
