It’s been a long time

I think it’s been seven months since I was blogging at all. I have a tumblog, but that’s not really anything big. I think what I wanna do with this blog is just talk about different things that come up that are related to Christianity. I doubt anyone reads this…I’m sure that my one reader has deleted me from his feeds. It doesn’t matter

I guess I have some goals. The following isn’t necessarily well-thought out. I just think this is what I wanna write about (I might use the word “wanna”…and maybe even “gonna”)

1. I want to talk about what I am learning from my Young Adults Ministry pastor (ppaul)
2. I want to discuss what I am reading from and that with which i agree, disagree, or have yet to fully understand (I suppose this is the most recent of what ppaul has taught me)
3. I want to be searching out new ideas from different preachers and writers about what the church should be doing
4. I want to comment on politics to a certain degree, but I want to keep it all on God
5. I want to be okay with just talking about social issues amongst my peers and in relation to God (but not necessarily in relation to him)
6. I want to be honest about what I think is valid and invalid
7. I want to grow from this
8. I want to develop a discipline of writing more–I think this will help me both develop a writing skill and a discipline
9. I want to write fairly often
10. I want to comment on specific issues that my church is going through and what I think about them
11. I want to talk about my personal life a little bit. This includes my idea of dieting a litte, of changing my lifestyle, what I think about some of the environmental issues at hand, and just what makes me ponder something for a long period of time.\
12. I want to be more productive
13. I want to do these things without worrying about how many people read this.
14. I want to do these things without worrying what people will say, rather encouraging discourse and not argument. (Maybe this will be one of my posts in the future?)
15. I don’t always want to end lists on simple, marketable numbers like 3, 5, 10, 15, etc. Sometimes there are only 12 reasons for something, or maybe there are 6 different beefs I have with something. That’s okay.
16. I want to be more well-read (and no, I didn’t do that to get off of the whole pleasing number)
17. I don’t want to be afraid to talk about technology

That wasn’t organized, really, at all. I just wanted to write out what I want to do with my future writing. I enjoy writing and reading, but the problem is that I don’t make sufficient time for both of those with all of the time I spend at digg.com. I think I want to start by reading a book like God is the Gospel. I’m looking at it right now and it isn’t too large. I also think it’s an important part of thinking through what I believe to be the true and ultimate word of God.

Well, it’s late and I am planning on taking out my grandma to lunch as well as applying at Target. Hope those go well. Oh yeah…and hw.
