If a word falls into a blogspot, but nobody reads it...
did it fully get expressed?
If a writer invests time, imagination, and sentiment into putting words on a page, is it enough to have them exist in silence like a new species of spider that nobody has discovered yet? If this is the case, although writing is still therapy for the writer, it is only for the writer.
Words written from the expression of the heart need to be shared and considered in much the same way as a good meal can be tasted and digested in the stomach of the reader. But, like a feast, if there is no one to enjoy the meal, it will sit there and gather dust without ever being fully enjoyed. That is why God created people...To enjoy the expression of His handiwork, share in its pleasures and tell Him what a good God He is for making it all. He doesn't need to hear it; we need to say it.
I am not saying that there is no value to speaking face to face, but there is also no record of these words exchanged. Words on a page can be re-read, re-considered, and re-sponded to over and over again. If there is someone willing to read.
Even if a word is written in the sand and enjoyed by one person until it is washed away by the waves, it is still enough.
