Thoughts about thinking

I once read something to the effect that a writer doesn't write in order to let people know what he thinks; rather he writes in order to find out what he thinks. That seems to me to be true of me. Often it's when I try to express things for other people to understand - whether something in writing or a preached sermon - that I truly realise what I think and believe myself. This blog is rather like that: I am writing mainly for myself - to work out what I think about various issues. If others find what I write helpful, then that's great.
