I’ve always written about that which was currently going on in my life. It’s easy to tap into that source and come up with plenty  to talk about, it got me through my first two years of blogging, but now… now I’m stuck. What if what’s going on in my life isn’t something that needs to be put up on a blog for the world to see? And even if I don’t post about that directly, all of my religious thoughts are directly affected by whats going on in my life.

By the way, anyone that tells you they are able to separate out their life and their religious beliefs, and that the are not correlated, is lying to you. I’m seeing that now more than ever. There is not and cannot be any true separation of our understanding and interpretation of any religious notion and our previous life experiences.

Anyways, off that soapbox.

I’m left at an impasse, I enjoy blogging when I have the time, and I need an outlet for my thoughts. I tried writing different philosophical thoughts in a journal for a while, but that didn’t hold my interest. I tried taking a break from running through philosophy and theology in my head, but I was bored and unsatisfied, I spent the first twenty years of my life doing that, I’d rather not go back.

I’m lead to the conclusion that blogging is probably the best outlet for me, provided I can remember how social networking actually works, and that I can keep up with the goings-on of the blogosphere.

I’ve also learned over the past few days that more people that I know in real life (that come to rather different theological conclusions than myself) read my blog than I knew. This makes posting on subject matter I’m interested in rather difficult, as it would likely lead to confrontations and judgments I’m not interested in dealing with right now. When you say things like “If God gives more of a shit about my marriage then about the millions that of people going hungry tonight, then who should give a shit about God?” in a public forum such as a blog… well… that doesn’t end well.

So, I’m debating what form to take when i come back. Do I play it safe, or do I stir up the pot and bring out the shit that’s really running through my head?
