Why this blog

The reason for this blog is because I'm anti social. I dont like talking to people, particularly people I dont know very well. But I figured that if I'm ever going to go into public ministry or for evangelism, or just do any job in the world I'll probably need to learn how to be more social.

Part of the reason for my not wanting to communicate is low self esteem; coming to Sydney in year 1, I didnt have any friends and I was always really self-conscious, not wanting to be different. But I guess who really cares what others think of you when we know that God loves us and says we are His children.

So here I am with this blog. Im sure no one is ever going to read it but I hope I'll care enough to keep going with no readers.

This blog is named after Bill O'Reilly's "The O'Reilly Factor". Observing the media during the US election was so interesting, watching how shows like the Factor are so obviously biased towards bush but still trying to pretend to be unbiased. That is this blog's philosophy too. So like O'Reilly, I say - the spin stops here.
