New Season

I've decided to resurrect this blog after a multi-month hiatus. Over the past few months, there were many times when I told myself I wanted to start writing again but I'd never take the time to actually do it. I think I have avoided keeping this blog going for a couple different reasons:

1. I get lazy. Sitting down and taking 20-30 minutes to create a blog post is something I usually enjoy doing. I like writing my thoughts down and adding pictures and links and creative elements and posting it for people to see. However...there are also times when I think it just isn't worth it. I base my decision on the fact that I know many people won't read it and most of the content isn't actually important. But even if it isn't important and no one reads it, I still want to update and post regularly. I want this to be a sort-of journal where I can get my thoughts out and write about things I find interesting.

2. I'm too organized. I want everything in order, in a list and sorted. When it came to creating a blog, I seemed to want the same thing. I was so focused on my blog being organized or having a sort of theme that I didn't write or post whatever I wanted to. I couldn't decide if it should be a sports blog, or a food blog, or a photography blog, or a spiritual blog, or an entertainment blog, or any other random category - so I just stopped. The truth of it is that I'm interested in a ton of different things and I have opinions about many different topics. After all, I'm the type that follows college basketball recruiting on television while reading Water for Elephants (BTW - very good story) and drinking a homemade Tazo Chai Tea Latte. I want to be okay with having a post about what I think the Bible is saying in a certain verse, then having a post about why the Atlanta Braves should get another relief pitcher, and then another post about a recipe I tried making for dinner. I don't want to put myself or this blog in a box or try to organize it.

So here goes...the new blog. Some serious. Some sarcastic. Some light-hearted. Some educational. Some intense. All interesting - for me.
