If ever there were a time

I created this blog months ago and, not surprisingly, it has sat empty since then.  Well, I have been writing more and more and have a desire to do even more in the future.  So, why not take the opportunity of the beginning of a new year to resolve to write more. 

I constantly find myself desiring to write about various things I observe, things that strike me and make me think.  I would love to write a book.  I have some ideas.  I just don't know if I have the time, dedication, or frankly, the ability to do so.

So starting a blog may be a good step to get things down in print so I can help process and maybe move in the direction of becoming a better writer.  After all, I do have a degree in journalism that I haven't really used very much since I received it 14 years ago.

I can see myself writing about sports (that's why I got into journalism in the first place), quirky observations, comedy (I have a secret desire to someday do standup comedy.  I guess you could say that's a bucket list item.)  I may write about life and death, faith, vocation (I am a vocation minister), how and why people seem to fall into a situation at just the right time, etc... 

As I said, I have a lot of ideas floating around in my head.  I plan to use this blog as an outlet for that.  Being the extrovert I am, it may just help me process things to put them into print.
