Passion Gone

I'm loosing the passion for blogging. I had a big break not so long ago and now i feel like I'm going to do just what a blog shouldn't do, slowly fade away. I think a few things are happening. 1. I'm feeling less and less like i have ideas that are worth other people reading. 2. Too much other stuff is happening in my life... Kids (one with autism and one with a language processing difficulty), uni and the usual stay at home dad stuff. These are obviously way more important than a blog and while my brain might be processing stuff anyway it's just too much effort to formulate those ideas into a coherent blog post. 3. I just am a little bit more comfortable living in the grey and the unknown at the moment.

So you may never get to read the following half thought out posts...

Chaplains: Why i think they, under the current arrangement, they are not such a great idea.

Confession: About the the slavery and animal torture I'm involved in.

Relationship Vs Power: where I continue to muse around the idea that God is not "all powerful" and why that makes relating to God possible.

Big Gay Post: where I outline all the thoughts and reasons as to why I am Gay affirming.

Funny thing (from a recent lurker)... I first found your blog when you last sort of called it quits. Then I found it again for the second time, and you're sort of calling it quits again. Timing!

I am a Christian who left church over ten years ago. I keep almost starting a blog about my experiences, but not doing it for all sorts of reasons. All of those reasons ignore the fact that I keep looking for other blogs on the subject, so I must somehow feel there's a place for this kind of discussion.

Anyway, this is a roundabout way of pointing out a funny coincidence, of thanking you for the thoughts you have posted, and perhaps of clarifying my own thoughts a little more.

PS Those are some intriguing-sounding non-posts you haven't written :-)

Thanks for Lurking Tee. I'm pretty sure I will get around to posting some of those posts, eventually. When the blog isn't a high priority it's easy to let it slip for a long time when the rest of life gets busy.
