Blogging mission statement

After hedging and thinking and pondering, and more hedging, and thinking through this some more, I am finally ready to share my mission statement for "For Everything There Is A Season."

My goal in re-starting this blog is two-fold:
1.) to remember and re-learn how to write in a blog
2.) to use this blog as a stepping stone for another blog on a yet-to-be determined website that effectively monetizes their blogs and can be an effective way of earning a living (or at the very least a supplement to it).

What I intend to share about:
1.) Music
2.) Faith (specifically, bible-believing Christian faith)
3.) Some dreams/visions that I think could be important enough for the public to know

These three areas are the primary topics that I wish to write about on this blog, especially with an eye of writing the such in a more professional and polished way on my next blog. 

I may also share somewhat about:
1.) sports
2.) politics 
3.) certain memories that stand out
4.) photos, videos, and web links that are appropriate and tie in directly to the blog post topic 

When I do write about these things I intend for these to be secondary to the first three topics. 

What I do NOT intend to do with this blog:
1.) vent needlessly 
2.) share many personal details, those of myself or of others, or focus the post topic on myself too much 
3.) ramble on and on and on
4.) post a blog post with no discernible point or perspective 
5.) neglect the topics that I have listed as what I intend to share 

One last point about this mission statement: the above does not necessarily apply to posts from 2005 to 2013. I wrote the way I wrote then. In my picking and choosing which posts I will post from then vs what I will not, I chose to eschew some of the guidelines that I am setting forth for myself now, more to allow for you the reader to have landmarks of where I came from as a blogger. But that's it.

The summation of my new goals too is not to write too much. Shorter blog posts tend to do better.

There you have it.
