Am I Writing Like a Worker Ant or a Child of God?
The secular world desperately needs to hear the perspective of Catholics on pressing issues, especially on the sanctity of human life. However, most religious authors write in a small niche, read mainly by fellow Catholics and perhaps a few other critics we would secretly love to block. An amusing analogy came to me the other day which clarifies this dilemma.
Consider the life of an ant, not a queen ant, a worker ant.
This is an excellent post, Melanie. And in a way, it reminds me of the many Christian ants busily writing their blogs daily wondering who is visiting them, or whether their efforts are having any effect on anyone. We all write for different reasons. Some genuinely want to put some positives out there in a negative and dark internet full of bile and cynicism. Others write for pure vanity. Whilst others wonder whether to bother to continue writing or whether they should just give it up. The latter would be a pity because it would turn off yet another of the little lights of hope that shine in a dark internet that mirrors today's secular society.
ReplyDeleteI applaud and thank you for all the works that you do, Melanie.
I sometimes wish that we members of ACWB and other Christian sites would visit each others blogs more and encourage each other to keep on going as focussed Christian ants.
God bless.
