I used to blog on a fairly regular basis over at my blogspot blog, but then I quit blogging for a year or so. I’ve really wanted to pick blogging back up and thought if I’m going to do it, I need a fresh start, so here I am, with a new blog on WordPress, which has some features that blogger doesn’t have at the moment. So, I’m going to give this a shot.
I’ve been thinking recently about my blog and how it should function. I want my posts to be original and of high quality, which means spending some time thinking through, researching, and editing posts. And I also want to post on a regular basis, more so as a practice of discipline than anything else. I’ve realized I’m a pretty lazy person and need to do some things about that. So, this blog will hopefully be an exercise in discipline.
So, starting this week, I am going to try and post a quality blog post every Friday, usually relating to emerging church, theology, youth ministry, or something exciting like that. I may post random things in between my Friday posts that are not exactly “substantial” posts, but will keep things fresh.
We’ll see how this goes.

People are more important than blogs. Never choose blogs over people. [...]
[...] in blogging. I get nary a blip of traffic on my blog, which is fine by me. As I outlined in my first post on the blog, this is really an exercise in discipline and an opportunity to keep my writing skills intact. [...]
