Some people think that blogging is a waste of time.

- Reason being, they think a blog is a diary. But, the inability to write down every part of your private life and emotions because of privacy reasons makes it pointless.

But, they need to know that blogging has evolved. Different writers have different styles of writing. This does not only involve the topics. But, also the way writers buildup their ideas for others to have a good picture of what the blogger wants to portray. Now there are photo blogs, shopping blogs, travel logs, business blogs, personal blogs and blogs that write about everything. The beauty of it is, it is unofficial, yet it gives widespread publicity. A lot of people read blogs! Despite negative feedback from protective governments, blogging is becoming more and more popular. Good and interesting bloggers are becoming celebrities. This is the irony. A person working so hard can only earn so much, but a person writing as a hobby might become rich and famous.

Blogging is not the same anymore. It has no identifiable target because its scope is so wide. It touches everything. It can’t be ignored anymore. Businesses are having blogs. Governments are trying to control bloggers.

Blogging is not the next big thing. Blogging is THE BIG THING now. Just so you know, Dr Mahatir of Malaysia has a blog too.

Giving is blessing, be it encouragement, a smile, gifts or help. It lifts another person, makes their day and shows your character.

To give or not to give?
How much to give?
People are always told to give. It's a one sided thing. What if, the problem does not lie in giving? It lies in receiving.

How are people going to give if you refuse to receive? Likewise how are you going to give if they do not want to receive?

People always think that only the poor, the very sick can receive. That is not the case. In fact, all that is in need can receive, be they rich or poor. If only the poor can receive, the world would have been stunted and would have growth retarded.

“Encourage the poor and help them. They will gain the strength to stand by themselves. After that does that mean you stop giving? They might not need money, they might need encouragement because after all, a successful person, no matter what their background are still human."

The needy can receive. The poor can receive. The rich can receive. Everyone can give and receive.

Giving : "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose". Among all things, God promised to throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have enough room for it if they trust him and bring the whole tithe to the storehouse.

In both statements, he who gives receives. Therefore if you give you have to learn how to receive. It is just natural.
