Simple: life.
What has transpired in the past 614 days? Well my wife and I had another child, which meant I needed to spend twice as much writing time changing dirty diapers. I got a job. A very not fun job. A job I disdain, where I've had to work every shift, every holiday and until recently had only been allowed to take 3 vacation days in a year and half. I've had two relatively minor surgeries, I've been on a job search, gained 60 lbs, dropped out of RCIA, gone back and forth between denominations, have never found a church home, royally sucked at prayer, and been diagnosed with ADD. There have been a lot of good time and whole lot of bad times. So why get back into blogging?
Simple: life.
Things are starting to look up. I spend a lot of time with my family but it is a little bit easier to squeeze in writing time than it was just a few months ago. I'm on the prowl for a new job and I think I will be successful in the next few months. I'm beginning the weight loss process (again). Thanks to some small improvement in my prayer life I am slowly breaking down the doubts, fears and intellectual stalemates that plagued me before.
So I am mulling over a return to blogging, which I always enjoyed and now I finally realize how much it helped me work through things and become a better man. I'm sending this out on the random chance that some poor person might stumble upon it and offer their opinion...
Should I stick with this domain & blog title or not?
I mean I like the thought of beach chairs and pews. But it is a gangly url, a little funky to spell and let's face it I live nine hours drive from the nearest beach. I'm not sure if it is best to just get a fresh start to bring this blog back from the dead. I'm leaning towards a fresh start, since that is something I need in my life anyways. Any thoughts...
