Well I am back, and back with a vengance.
Like many bloggers, I have found that this blog has become such an integral part of my life that putting it down was actually quite hard. I even found myself reading my favorite blogs once or twice. But it seemed important to take a step back, enjoy the family and spend a bit less time in front of the screen.
Blogging is a great way to think out loud and to learn from others blogs, and from their reactions to you. I have been very grateful to be part of this revolution, and as those from Jubilee Church who read this blog have discovered, my sermons there have definitely benefited from this blog and the internet as a whole. In fact this is a great outlet for the odd ideas that are floating around my head and for the quotes I find in books and websites I read. This is kind of like a primeaval soup out of which my sermons and even ‘real’ face to face conversations arise.
A blog is also an opportunity to reflect, contemplate and record stories you never want to forget. What an interesting resource they are likely to make future historians too. But since the majority of blog readers are those who already blog, I don’t need to pursuade my readers that they are great do I?
