A Difficult Summer - for Blogging

It feels a lot like this summer (I know it's only just begun officially) is a low time for blogging. I think it has been one of the slowest and lowest I have had in a long time. When I have gone to the local coffee shop- I have been sitting outside and reading instead of inside and blogging. I have spent a lot of time outside walking and biking.

And of course there's also all those Twins games on TV.

I have a hunch that I have needed that down time. Last time I was back in Wisconsin visiting a number of interesting church/faith related issues came up in conversations. Some of them had to do with the nature of the church- something I have spent many hours in somewhat frivolous contemplation. Others had to do with spirituality and friendship and even aging.

I don't think I am ready to put these down on screen yet. But at least I had to do a little public priming of the pump. All this will either come rushing forth with a whole new set of insights- or I will discover that I may not have anything to say about them. But I will say that life is not dull.
