When I Have Fears

By: John Keats

When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain,
Before high-pilèd books, in charact'ry,
Hold like rich garners the full-ripened grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starred face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace,
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love;--then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think,
Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.

This is Nothing New

I've been thinking.

What do I bring to the blog world? I think the answer is nothing. Nothing new at least. I hope the answer is nothing. If I were bringing anything new, then it certainly would not be from the Bible, and thus not be according to God's law. Like I mentioned in my previous post, God's got it all covered. He doesn't need people like me to bring new revelations to the world. So why do I blog?

I blog for me. I blog to sort things out in my own head, to drive things home. I don't expect to bring anything new to the table. I'm just reinforcing Biblical methods. I hope. My purpose is to look at old things in a new way, not to find new things altogether. With this in mind, while reading this or any other blog, learn from perspective, not new ideas.
