So, I quit blogging for a little while. A DMin project, beginning Romans, funerals out the wazoo (is that how you spell that) and just general old being busy has left little in the way of a prioritized need to blog.
But I need to blog. I need to read, interact with and think out loud regarding what is going on in my world.
So, as I prepare to take up the beast again, here’s some of the reasons I blog:
1. To force me to read, think through and concretely respond to issues in culture, theology and life. It refines my thinking and writing – not that any of it will every be great, perhaps I can make it better.
2. To create an e-filing cabinet of articles and issues I could later reference as I study, teach and preach.
3. To keep up with personal friends and theological compatriots beyond my vast world of Hemet, California.
4. To entertain a few from my church, family and friends who have some strange idea that they would want to read something from my dull mind.
5. To be entertained by a few from my church, family and friends who I think are much brighter and less boring than I.
I’m going to a bit of catching up in the next few days of posts that should have been posted long ago and a few “reactions” to some interesting happenigs in the blogosphere. Oh, I’ll probably put up some quick links to articles I am finding interesting and helpful as I wade through the hundreds of posts I have neglected from my feedreader.
O.K. I think I’m back (again).
Welcome back! I’m headed back to Louisville on Sunday.
We were all wondering what happened. I thought maybe now that Stacy graduated you might have a little more blog time, but as Jason says “with certian people one bad flu season can cause all kinds of havoc.” Thing certianly have gotten a little strange since your sabatical.
Welcome back.
Thanks Scott – strange indeed. My DMin work provided a wonderful opportunity for me to neglect a whole lot of things I would like to do, including blogging and reading material of my own choosing. Not that I don’t have any more to do with the degree, but I can breathe a little easier at the moment.
Now, my brother, are you landing on the Amil/PostMill etc., side of the theological landscape as well?
Glad you’re back!
Bret, welcome back. How are things going on your project?
I am going to Southern for a week in September to camp out in the library and work on my project.
Thanks for the nice comments on my blog. Tell The Mrs. hello.
