THE CAPRANICA

So, I quit blogging for a little while.  A DMin project, beginning Romans, funerals out the wazoo (is that how you spell that) and just general old being busy has left little in the way of a prioritized need to blog.

But I need to blog.  I need to read, interact with and think out loud regarding what is going on in my world.

So, as I prepare to take up the beast again, here’s some of the reasons I blog:

1.  To force me to read, think through and concretely respond to issues in culture, theology and life.  It refines my thinking and writing - not that any of it will every be great, perhaps I can make it better.
2.  To create an e-filing cabinet of articles and issues I could later reference as I study, teach and preach.

3.  To keep up with personal friends and theological compatriots beyond my vast world of Hemet, California.

4.  To entertain a few from my church, family and friends who have some strange idea that they would want to read something from my dull mind.

5.  To be entertained by a few from my church, family and friends who I think are much brighter and less boring than I.

I’m going to a bit of catching up in the next few days of posts that should have been posted long ago and a few “reactions” to some interesting happenigs in the blogosphere.  Oh, I’ll probably put up some quick links to articles I am finding interesting and helpful as I wade through the hundreds of posts I have neglected from my feedreader.

O.K.  I think I’m back (again).
