I’m not cut out to be a blogger. Obviously. It has been two months since my last post, and that particular post was written several months previously and had been sitting on my desktop waiting for a revision. Oh well. Thankfully, God did not call me to Blogging, although blogging and preaching are similar enough that one might assume that a preacher can blog and a blogger can preach.
Not necessarily.
I don’t have a problem coming up with a sermon each week. Although, sometimes, my sermons are as helpful as many blogs (no offense, bloggers, but some are quite lame!). That’s a confession of sorts. I could just blog my sermons, but I’m afraid any readers I have may opt out because my sermons are dry reading. I don’t know (and I am NOT fishing for compliments, so don’t bother).
I have a great deal of respect for real bloggers who seem to come up with some really good posts on a regular basis. That’s a gift. I wish I had that gift, but I don’t. Now, when I was on sabbatical last year, I blogged a lot. Ah, perhaps therein lies the answer!
I am at St. Andrew’s Abbey again for a day-away retreat. I don’t have an agenda, but I’m reading and praying (and blogging, sort of). But then, I was up here last month for a week and never blogged. Maybe I just don’t have anything to say? That could be!
So I’ll close this rambling essay and get back to reading. Maybe something will catch my fancy and I’ll come back and write something.
Don’t hold your breath!
I can’t imagine two months between posts!! It surprises me too, yes, that people think of something to write each day. Me, I’m just unfolding the story of my son’s early life, telling it as a story, but if I had to think of something to SAY every day, not so sure I could either. Your post was actually interesting, believe it or not, in just saying “I don’t know what to write”. I can feel that!
