- Excuse #1 .... ummmm
- Excuse #2 .... so, ummm
- Excuse #3 .... I got nothin'
I'd like to have this grand excuse about all the cool things I've been doing and time just wouldn't permit me to write it all down. But that's not the case. The truth is ... I'm just not a good blogger. I don't have good ideas with any regularity so I find that my blogging would be inconsistent at best (probably like a year in between posts).
You're probably thinking, "Ah, but something has inspired him to start again," and you would be incorrect. I have no inspiration. The bulk of my thought processes go to things like "I wonder if there's enough cheese for a plate of nachos" or my sermon preparation. Either of those would likely bore you to tears.I'm not a thinker of great thoughts ... I'm an accumulator ... I process what other people say. And even then I tend to mangle it when I try to repeat it. I think I've come up with about three original, repeatable quotes in my life and for the life of me I can't remember what they were.
BUT ... my wife ... now there's a thinker. I've refused to argue with her for 25 years of marriage because she thinks too well. There's no way I could win (and we all know that arguing in marriage is all about winning). She has this keen ability to read or listen to someone and walk away from it and go, "Here's what was said in a nutshell and here's how I think it might apply to me." Whereas I'm more like, "Umm, yeah what he said was really good ... hey I wonder if there's enough cheese for a plate of nachos."
Don't get me wrong ... I don't think I'm stupid ... I just process differently than she does. I have to study it ... find the context ... examine the history ... etc. By the time I'm done "The Effects of the Cotton Gin on the Current Generation" is no longer a trending topic. I'm usually a day or two late to the conversation.
All this to say ... check out my wife's new blog. She thinks and causes me to think and dare I say, will cause you to think, also. So, to all three two of my followers (she's the third), go read her blog. Engage in conversation -- she loves that.
Love. Peace. Nachos
