Do you ever notice how blogs tend to be filled with angsty prose about how nobody understands the author? I\u2019ve always wondered why that is.
\nSome of you who are my more consistant readers may have noticed that I\u2019m having trouble keeping up the regularity of this blog. Or maybe (I hope) not. But it\u2019s true. Since I\u2019ve arrived in Kansas I just haven\u2019t had the drive to type I had previously.
\nSo I got to thinking tonight. \u201cI wonder if that\u2019s because I\u2019m happy\u201d
\nKansas is beautiful right now, the weather is great, I have a homeish home for the first time in years and the ministry is going really well. Last night I was able to sit in on out IV bible study for the first time and it was incredible, About a third of the group hadn\u2019t made up their minds about Christ but were interested if figuring it out, and all of us from all of our different backgrounds were able to peacefully exegete the passage together.
\nEarlier tonight I was at a Crew meeting as part of my research in \u201cspying out the land\u201d which was also crazy fun, and everyone\u2019s been generally accepting of me both as a friend and a spiritual leader.
\nPreviously I was writing while in the middle of fund raising in between work as a Youth Pastor and a Campus Minister, and before that in 2008, I had an active blog while between work as a volunteer and a youth pastor. Both times I lacked a church, and had been ousted from my previous community. I wonder If I just needed an outlet, and now that people are listening to me in the meatworld again, I don\u2019t need that outlet so much.
\nWouldn\u2019t that be strange? That an entire form of mass communication caters to authors in a particular emotional state? It would certainly explain some things though\u2026
\nI\u2019m going to try to prevent this blog from atrophying due to my happiness. But I wanted to let you know about it for three reasons:
\n1: I think it\u2019s really interesting and I want to hear your comments
\n2: I may decide to change the format shortly and talk more about my life, or about the subject of this weeks bible study or a chapter of some book I\u2019m writing, and I want you to know why
\n3: Hey, at least it\u2019s something to say right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
