I started this blog almost two years ago.  It wasn’t even my idea — my boyfriend at the time talked me into it.  It took me a few months to find my voice and even longer to figure out what kinds of things to post.  It has evolved for the better, and I have learned along the way.  All of this is to say that I’ve been thinking about making some changes.

For instance, I am brainstorming for a new title. “Mentionables” is not descriptive enough, and it never was all that clever.  I’ve been having a time coming up with a title that expresses what this blog has come to be about — my life and my faith, mostly.   I also feel I need new copy for the subhead explanation of this blog.  I might, maybe, change the “about me” section, too — except that I have such a sentimental attachment to the college friend who called me The Pledge, I may not.

At some point I started blogging more and more about Jesus.  It seems I can’t get away from Him.  I enjoy writing the faith-themed posts, since my faith is, after all, the central facet of my life.  Hence quite unintentionally, I have stumbled upon a theme.  This is more an observation, a statement of fact, than an example of a change in content (at least, not a recent change).

This observation has precipitated a change in how I view my blogging hobby, however.   See, when I first started out, I blogged to keep in touch with people.  I blogged out of my loneliness, out of my need to have someone to talk to.   Now, many of my closest friends and relations do not read my blog, and I have handful of new readers that I have never met.  I write blog posts now because I love writing and can’t help myself.   I am more interested now in encouraging others in their faith (hopefully in Christ J) than I am in letting my long-distance friends know I bought a new couch (or whatever).

I have found writing on this blog to be one of my most satisfying “extracurricular” activities.  Though I have outgrown some aspects of this site, I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.  Therefore, you will probably start seeing some new things here in the near-ish future.

SO: Any feedback you, dear reader, may have on what you like, don’t like, or how I might improve this blog, including suggestions for a more-descriptive title, would be appreciated.
