Uh...Hello? Anyone Still There?

So what happened? Did I just get bored with this thing? I haven't posted in, like, three ice ages (or one global warming). What, now, causeth my prodigal return? And do I intend to stay?

I started this thing for my own amusement. Plus, a blog was "the thing" to do. The new thing. Something every early adopter was adopting, most of them earlier than I did.

My stated passion is the local church, and that's what I liked to write about. Particularly about my church, Anchor Community. But during the past year, my writings drifted occasionally into venting about my denomination's (alas) failed effort to join the Missionary Church. Some pretty cynical stuff there. Then I wrote about Promise Keepers, and it was drawing PK people from across the country. So I didn't want to put up stuff that was too in-house or would turn them off.

Plus, in June, my denomination chose new leaders and new initiatives and embarked on an ambitious plan to create a new future. It's a very big deal, and I'm in the thick of it doing communications stuff, since I'm the Communications Director. I'm still neck deep, and can't blame FEMA. And suddenly, two months passed with nary a post.

I think about this thing a lot. Miscellaneous ideas float around in my head as I drive the 25 miles to work. But when I sit down at a computer, whether at work or at home, I always have a zillion other things clamoring for my attention, and I just don't get around to typing in the Blogger address. I guess it means that this blog isn't a high priority for me. And why should it be? It's for my amusement, after all, and amusements take a back seat to the urgents.

But I'm gonna give it another good try. Because, frankly, I miss doing this thing. I miss rambling into the cybersphere, as I'm doing right now. This is a totally content-free post. I'm just blabbering. And I'm sort of amusing myself, which means I'm succeeding in my lowly goal.

So, for those of you out there who, for reasons of your own choosing, pop in now and then and wonder why you never received an obituary notice...well, as Fast Eddy announced to the twerp played by Tom Cruise, "I'm back."
