Happy blogiversary to me- this blog is 2 today!

Well, I suddenly realised that it is now two years since I began my blog wondering if anyone would ever read it, and mainly writing for myself and my family. It still amazes me that people read this thing. I feel much richer for the experience-I have learnt a lot, and yes I have made mistakes along the way. Blogging has taught me a lot- thank you everyone who has been a part of this journey with me. It has been and will continue to be fun! So here it is my “1st Warnock Blog entry” from 16th April 2003

Hi This is Dr Adrian Warnock here begining his blog. Quite why I am starting today is anybody’s guess, but I think its something to do with being at the point of major change in my work life. Of course the world is in flux right now also and I guess the deluded part of me thinks that at the very least I would like to be able to read my thoughts again at some point in the future. Maybe these blogs will be like diaries were- who ever keeps a diary these days. I used to keep one years ago….. It would be nice to be able to show my children these musings when I am old and grey- assuming that I make it that long of course!

I really don’t know how regular a blogger I will be, but if my own sudden interest in other people’s bloggs is anything to go by then I might be surprised how many people are interested in the witterings of an aging psychiatrist in London UK. There is something very personal and appealing to the nosy part of me (and believe me psychiatrists are nosy of course we are!! ) about blogs. So maybe someone out there will find this interesting.

It will no doubt be a ragtag bundle of thoughts, links, news that interests me and quotes. I guess a blog is putting part of yourself out there for all to see.
It almost makes you feel like you are making something immortal. Kind of like bringing a child into the world and doing your bit to counteract future underpopulation in the Western World.

Maybe bloggs are surrogate children for all those childless net citizens. Which kind of begs the question what is a father of four doing producing one?!

Being a father I will no doubt bore you all silly at times with funny tales about the kids, I may also muse about psychological suffering, wonder how the bible can be applied to 21st century life, and generally chat. Now chat is something I’m good at!!!

Although this is my first blog, it is not my first website. Sermons and articles that I and others have written are available at Jubilee Church which is the church I am proud to attend. Why not pop over there, take a look and mail me about something and we will get this show on the road!
