Hello all:
I just recently returned from a ten day trip to Missouri. What a trip. I celebrated my Grandmother’s 90th birthday, met an aunt and uncle and a bunch of cousins (from all parts of the family) for the first time, and met all three of my siblings for the first time (I’m adopted).
I also worshipped with a very conservative Church of Christ with my Grandmother, while one of my cousins told me all about how the church down the road where my Aunt and Uncle attend just isn’t “quite right” because they have a praise team. What fun.
Through it all, God showed me every day, several times a day, how I have it good and how my life could be much worse. Praise God for his grace!
On another note, it has been bothering me for quite some time how I am not blogging very often anymore. I am working on developing a series or two to attempt to fix that problem.
There are two main reasons I am not blogging as much: I have things to write about, but I don’t write them down fast enough and then I forgget them, and some of the subjects I want to write about aren’t related to the Restoration Movement.
There are many topics that I want to explore with writing that really don’t have anything to do with our movement. Many of them are spurred on by my orientation as a restorationist, but otherwise, there is little to no connect. In many ways, I’m not sure that I want to blog about those topics here because I have dedicated this blog to examining Churches of Christ and the Restoration Movement at large, but also because I am not sure that all of my audience, both real and potential, would appreciate these other topics nearly as much as they do this one.
So… I am contemplating erecting a second blog….or maybe even keeping this blog up in archive form, but no longer posting to it and instead turning to a second blog to persue my other writing interests. I’d love to hear your opinion on what I should do.
