What's Been Up

It has been awhile since I have written a post for this blog. There are reasons for this. First, my drastic shift in focus from politics to matters concerning the Bible and Christianity has made me take a step back. You see, when talking about politics it's OK to just sit down and fire something off regarding the latest happenings in the political world, or hammer off an opinion piece to try to persuade others to your point of view. And if you are wrong, well that's OK, that is what opinion is all about. Not that I endeavored to be wrong, but anyone who is honest understands that the possibility is very real. That does not work when you are talking about Bible topics or issues concerning Christianity. The bar is set much higher. If sharing thoughts on the Bible it is a very big deal to steer people wrong. Therefore I must take more time, which is sometimes hard to come by, and carefully think through issues before I write a blog post about them. Of course this would only explain a slowdown in blogging, not why there has been no new posts in around six weeks. Well, that is also related to the shifted focus. I needed to take some time and examine myself to make sure that I am not being puffed up. I need to be sure that when I write blog posts the purpose is to be helpful to people, and not arrogant or saying, hey look at me, look how smart I am. So it has taken some time to decide if I could go on blogging without having such an attitude.

So, considering all of that, I do believe that I will continue to blog, but the posts may be slower in coming than they have been in the past.

Thank you for bearing with me.
