The Repeated Resuscitation of a Blog

Towards the end of my tenure in Mobile, Alabama, I tried to become faithful in blogging on a regular basis. At the time I wasn't sure why. It was just the popular thing to do, I guess. However, not long after my inaugural blogging season, we made a move to East Tennessee. And needless to say the time-consuming projects of moving, building a house, getting settled into a new job, getting to know a new church, and so on and so forth, make it difficult to make time to share thoughts on a blog. But as time passed and time-consuming projects settled, I made attempts to resuscitate my blogging habits. Unfortunately, these attempts were to no success.

However, now nearly two-years settled, I sometimes feel the need to share thoughts longer than the 140 characters that Twitter allows (Not that anyone cares to know those thoughts). But I felt as though a "cold-turkey" re-appearance in the blogosphere would seem odd. So I thought, "I'll start it up at the first of the year." But then I thought, "No, everyone starts their blogs again at the first of the year." So then I thought, "I'll blog about SuperBowl commercials to ease my way back into blogging." Again, I thought, "No, everyone shares their opinions about SuperBowl commercials. That's not a good way." Once more I thought, "Well, I'll start blogging on the first of a month...say....April." Finally I concluded, "No, that's being obsessive compulsive. Start blogging now."

So this is my repeated resuscitation of a blog, randomly, in late March. I do have some pretty cool thoughts, things I've read, and other stuff I want to share in the future so stay tuned...
