i keep saying i'm going to start blogging.
but, alas, i have never done so.
but, now, i am reading some peoples' blogs...so, maybe i'll start blogging myself.
i don't really know what to put up here, though.
you're not getting my journaling...and i don't think you really want to know what i think about the authorship of the book of john, or about erasmus, praise of folly and the affect of it's satirical writing on the reformation. i mean, maybe you're interested in that, and i would post it. but, i just don't think you want it. tell me if i'm wrong. now, excerpts from a paper i wrote about the interplay of mercy and justice in matthew seems a little more blog worthy. i'll see if i can find something in there i want to paste up here and maybe explicate some.
see, i want to write books...and when you put something up on a blog, it's there for everyone to take and read.
i know, that makes it free and accessible. fantastic. but, i'm also going to need to support myself to pay rent and bills and eat one day. that makes free sound a lot less appealing when it's writing that i love with all of my heart. it's right next to reading. hmm...that's an idea. i could write down here what i think of books that i'm reading. somewhat reviews, maybe, but also some thoughts that are sparked from the books...'cause i'm not gonna write books just like those i'm reading.
so, that's it. this blog is going to be a mix of musings on the rule of benedict, anne lamott, joan chittister, henri nouwen, kurt vonnegut, robert frost, par lagerkvist, kathleen norris, etc...
look for more soon.
