After a great start to my blog I've fallen into the trap that I think many new bloggers fall into, they stop! I didn't plan to stop, I didn't want to stop but somehow I got out of the habit of blogging. I don't think it is a sin yet, but as the days went by I felt more and more guilty and got to the point of fearing getting started again. If I didn't open up the page then I could learn to ignore it and eventually it would become a thing of the past. Always there but I would be able to cope without it.
It's the same with my Saxophone - it's in the corner of a room, I know it is there, some days I look at the case and feel guilty, but I have learnt to live without it rather than learnt to play it. Actually I can play it, but I can't progress very far on my own, I need help, interaction with someone else who can play it, a group to play with so that I have a reason to practice. It's the same with the blog, I need some interaction, some conversation so that it makes the blog relevant and helpful, a learning tool that will benefit me and people who might read it.
So, like my saxophone, I'm getting going again, hoping that this time I can break through and continue writing so that it becomes part of a journey that will help me grow and develop, reflect and renew as I work through the challenges of being a follower of Jesus every day.
Since my last blog, I've finished reading Philip Pullman's book - I'll comment on that soon, we've had an election, I've preached in a new way for me, twice - first person, finalised my Sabbatical plans and have got closer to my next birthday - I'll comment on that soon as well.
But for now, take it that I'm back and I hope that the future will be free flowing and adventurous without hesitation, repetition or interruption. Thanks for listening and understanding.
