It is the Lord Christ you are serving." If it does, then whether we put a label to it really doesn't matter. If "whatever you do" includes blogging, then "work at it with all your heart". This is probably where I fall completely short. Does it fall under what this verse says:

However, I do think there are some larger principles that might be considered disciplines such as writing and outward expression, which often take the form of blogging.

I also believe that everything we do can be an opportunity to be more like Jesus. By the way If Keith Green was still alive...the image on this post...would be his Cd cover!!

You can use your blog in the manner of a spiritual discipline, but that is more of the what and why of your blog than the how, I think the discipline required to blog on a regular basis is not a spiritual discipline in the classical sense.
