Could it be time for a resurrection?

It's been a long while since I blogged - years since I used this space with any intention, though I have blogged on our church website (St John the Divine, Victoria), as well as writing some articles for our local paper which has a column and a blog which can be found here, and sharing them on Social Media. My latest reflection was all about DEI, and can be found, should you wish, here.

A few days back a friend of mine, who is also a Lutheran Colleague who worked in this Diocese for a while, shared a reflection on her blog in which she pondered whether it was time for her to start blogging after a ten year break, it was a lovely, gracious reflection and I recommend a read. It also made me think that rather than the journalling I have been meaning to do for a decade, or the limited run of Theology Bites videos (which I shared here and which are the nearest I will ever get to content creation!), or the random scribbles I put into the many notebooks that are lying around my home and office, I could try and marshall some thoughts here, back in the blogosphere. 

I mean, the alternative at this very moment is that I should go and get a haircut, and I'd rather sit and type than get shorn. Why is it that whenever I get to the stage where I am liking my hair length and style people start commenting that it's about time I visited the barbershop. 

But I digress.

I remember the heady days of Blog Community with the late Dr John, Milly, Quilly, and Sank, amongst others - there was humour, creativity, life, wisdom and a generosity of thought and expression from those I connected with in this way. I don't know if anything like that is doable in this day and age (and I am fortunate enough to remain connected with Sank and Quilly on Facebook) but as for getting my own thoughts out into the open and having reflections and discussions around them, perhaps that's still a possibility. 

Maybe my inner luddite is returning in this AI filled Internet and I feel the need to get some human made material out into the world. Maybe it's all whizzing by too fast and I just need to slow down and think out loud. Maybe I won't make anything of this, but just in case, let's at least get this intention out there. And thanks to Jennifer for the prompt. I guess I should find a way to put her blog up in the links - I haven't looked at Blogger for ages so I don't know how and whether I can reformat, add links to the side bar, etc. So, here I go. My next post may well say where I am, what's going on with me now, and how things have and haven't changed in the years since I last blogged.
