Let's Give This a Shot

After enduring what they would call "encouragement" but I would characterize as borderline nagging from friends and family to write more, I've decided to risk the world of blogging. I'm doing this partly to establish a discipline of writing and partly to enter into a conversation with others about things that interest me. I hope to occasionally be insightful but will admit up front that I will often just be silly or random. Life is serious business but you ought to have fun along the way.

I envision posting regularly, but I'm not going to commit to any set schedule. I write a weekly article for the church bulletin and I'll try to make that post-worthy. And I'm getting involved in a project called "Water for Christmas" so I'll use this as a means of keeping you abreast of developments there. More on that later.

But I will also use this as a place for theological and spiritual reflection, for thoughts on guitar-making, home life, dogs, and anything else that interests me. Enter into the conversation if you wish; I will approve any comments before posting because I have friends whom I don't trust not to try to embarrass me.

OK, so here goes!
