Lately I’ve become disillusioned with my dreams and goals that relate to writing. I spend fifteen minutes cruising the web and think, “Truthfully, does this world really need more opinions?”

This is a very sad question for someone like me to ponder, as sharing my opinion is something I really love to do.

I used to think it was necessary because a lot of other people share opinions that are different than mine, and isn’t balance important? (Read: I’m right and they’re wrong and everyone NEEDS to know this.)

Then I realized Jesus didn’t “share his opinion” that often, except to the pharisees. He more often than not told stories and seemed to be more about the doing than the saying. I wonder, sometimes, if Jesus walked the earth today, would he Facebook, Tweet, blog? Would he communicate grace through a social network and within 140 characters?
