Some people are such good bloggers. They can write funny, witty, interesting stories and paragraphs about things from their lives, but without giving too much away. I don't think I have a good filter for what to share and not share. Because my impulse is to spill the beans, go into detail, and bare all. That would be interesting, no doubt about that... but do I really want strangers reading about things that I wouldn't want my family to know? And what if my family finds this blog...
What might be a no-brainer for some bloggers is becoming a real dilemma for me. I want to write, but I don't want to be weird. I long to be real, but I don't want to embarass myself or my husband, or anyone else involved in my crazy life. I've always been 'straight up'. I just come out and say how it is. I'm kind of bold. I guess I'm just trying to figure out how to get some grace with my truth. Are there any rules for this kind of thing?

it's a hard balance to find. some don't write names, others do cool nicknames for people, etc. i prefer to be honest, but keep the "crazy" from leaking out everywhere, at least most of the time. my family does read my blog, which makes me a little more sensitive about what i write (i learned the hard way that i offended some family) but i refuse to not talk about my faith. i just talk about myself and my children (in a way that won't embarass them too much later) mostly me, my struggle with sin, etc. good questions. just enjoy blogging. you can always restrict it to invited readers if you feel the need!
I don't care what you write and Captain would like you to keep the jokes to a min.
