Doldrums

It is painfully clear to me, as I'm sure it is to anyone else who happens to stumble upon this site, not much has been happening here the past few years. Sure, there's a post or two, but by and large this blog has become dormant.

Life happens. I've been doing more reading that writing; more living than reflecting; more working than well, than anything else. The writing muscle has atrophied, and will require some "physical therapy" to restore to proper working order.

I have some question as to what form that should take. Do I simply resume where I left off, writing about anything that fancies me in the moment, as this blog more or less represents? Or do I resurrect and refresh writings two decades old, back when devotional material and Bible study materials were my primary output?

I actually have age-old friends who think I should write a book. I cannot help but to chuckle at that idea, if for no other reason than I have nothing about which to write that could fill such a format. A collection of musings and life experiences of a man in his late-40's who is no more or less than anyone else? To be fair, I have considered it - I actually would like to write a book someday (and modern self-publishing in the internet age makes it possible) - but one must have a subject, a purpose, and a direction. At present, I lack all three.

Ah well. It's a cool morning, and pollen is in the air. I have brush on the back line that needs going-after, if I can get the billy goat started. Work calls.
