The first, often seen in books, is the "No Space Paragraph". It's not a hard concept really. You just drop a line and throw an indentation in there. This gives a simple, easy to understand connection to the previous paragraph. It helps the action flow through the writing without pause while still arranging it in an organised and concise manner.
The second is more often seen in long emails or messages than in formal writing. Known as the "Single Space Paragraph", it provides a nice alternative to the No Space Paragraph by allowing some much needed breathing room in betwixt your no doubt deep and intelligent thoughts. It gives the reader a pause, a little break, easily filled by a bite of sandwich or, if your feeling particularly brave, some cereal.
The final method is what I call the "Wait, Wait, I Wrote Something Really Important Up There, Go Look Again. Really, It's Pretty Awesome", also know as the "I Totally Left This Message Here For An Hour Cause I Had To Take A Shower". I find this form to be the most "out there" and "edgy". It makes the reader absolutely tingle with excitement as they go down not one, but two whole lines to find the next thought, all the while pondering the gravity of an earlier declaration. It is truly a thing of beauty.
In breaking news, grammar has been beaten to death by large groups of teenagers everywhere. Thought you should know.
I'm writing this as I should be thinking about what I'm going to do for bible study tomorrow. For those of you that don't know (which is...nobody. I need more people to read my blog...) I have recently become a leader at my churches youth group. While this is totally awesome and all that, it has made me think about how much time I spend really digging into God's word. I have to come to the conclusion that it is not nearly enough.
I need to work on this quite a bit. I don't think I need to get a God revelation every day of the week, but I do need to start every day with Him in mind, knowing that I am His and His alone. From this knowledge, I think I will be able to give so much more to the people in youth group, and in fact everyone I come across.
To help me out, I'm going to try and post a little tidbit of what God is doing in my life each day. I don't think it's too much for God to teach me something new everyday, and I hope that the readers of this blog can be encouraged by what he shows me. It would be really awesome if others could join me in this. If anyone wants to, please feel free to leave your daily lesson in the comments on each of my posts, or link to your own blog if you have one.
Get excited, cause it's startin tomorrow.
