So, okay, I really wanted to set up this blog, so I could do day and date posts.
Didn't happen.
And I took my computer to Israel with me, so I could send my impressions from the Holy Land immediately.
Didn't happen.
And then I started posting notes from my journal, in March, so that at least I could share some of my impressions, more or less in chronological order, and pretty much as I remembered them.
Didn't happen.
It's now the end of June--three months after my last entry--and I have completely neglected this blog that I was so insistent upon having.
In a group discussion a few days ago, one of our congregants said that we needed to give the website more ability--streaming video, podcasts, etc;, even blogs. "Wait!" I said, "I blog".
"Yes," he replied, "but not enough"
Man, he is so right! I had this great--perhaps grandiose would be a better word--of my sitting down, every day or two, and pouring out my thoughts--which would naturally be incisive and insightful--to anyone who cared to read them. And, of course, there would be many, many people who would want to read them.
Didn't happen.
So for me, perhaps, blogging seems to have turned out to be like most of my exercise plans--a good thought, a planned regimen, a few days of carrying out that regimen, followed by a slow period, and then, a time I put it off--which leads to another time I put it off--which leads to thinking that it can wait . . .and it waits . . .and it waits.
Til, like now, I do nothing.
So, just like my exercise programs, I'm promising to start over, and be a little more faithful . I'm not going to promise to do this every day--I'm not going to expect myself to have some brilliant insight every day--I'm going to start slower. I'm going to go back to attempting to record some of my experiences in Israel. I'll try to let you know some of what's happening in our church--and, knowing myself, I may just sound off about things in general . . .we'll see.
