Change from "Missionary Musings" to "Dribblings of a Disciple"

Don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I changed the title of my blog from “Missionary Musings” to “Dribblings of a Disciple” recently.

Why?

It seems to me that “musings” was a bit lofty for me. The word “musing” is defined as “an instance or period of reflection.” Seeing as how my ability to focus on any issue or topic is quite short-lived, I thought that “dribbling” would be more appropriate for my style of “cogitation.”

Dribbling. The noun form is “dribble” and is defined as “saliva running from the mouth” or “foolish talk or ideas, nonsense.” Dribbling can also mean “fall slowly in drops or a thin stream.” That’s usually the way that my thoughts come out - they dribble. And as they dribble out of my mouth and I form the actual words, I begin to understand what it is that I am thinking. It’s a form of thinking called “figure-it-out-as-you-say-it” thinking.

I have to process ideas verbally. That’s why this blog is good for me. It’s almost as good as sitting down with someone and bantering about thoughts, ideas, suggestions & such, but not quite.

So, from this day forth, my “dribblings” will keep coming as they have, but the context (that of being a disciple) is a bit broader than that of a missionary.

All that to say, “Hey, I didn’t like my blog title, so I changed it.”

Most of y’all didn’t even notice, though now, did you!? ;-)
