First off, this is going to sound like an introductory post because...well...it is essentially. Let's just say I was on a massive blogging drought. Perhaps I jumped on the blogging band-wagon without looking before I leapt. Perhaps I've just been really lazy. Perhaps blogging is just not for me. It could be that it's been a combination of all of these. For whatever reason I definitely didn't stick to the weekly update that I had originally intended (and possibly even voiced).
I think I had this strange thought that for some reason all of my blog postings had to be these well polished works of art that made sense and were constructed in a way that saved the net from the ramblings of yet another mad man. Whatever gave me that idea? (At this point you should probably see my other blog posts for confirmation or denial of this point)
So here is the deal. I didn't make any new years resolutions that are holding me to blogging because let's face it, resolutions don't usually survive the month of January. What I did do, however, is look at the start of the new year as a time to start fresh. Really, I should probably look at every day in this manner, but baby steps. I found that I really miss writing (and I don't mean sermons because that's a completely different medium) and blogging is one way I can fill that void.
Therefore, I'm going to write more reflections here no matter who reads them or how many people read it. This one's for me. I'm not sure what this all will look like. It might be reflections on youth ministry since that's what I spend a lot of time doing. It might be about the intersection of faith and life since that's what really interests me. It might just be random musings which if that's the case, look out! All I can promise is this...it will be more.
