first blog....

Well, my title really sums things up. The only thought I have is 'this is my first blog' and then it's nothing but meandering half-thoughts; truly, I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm worried however that I'm in a catch-22: I don't want to start writing because I simply don't feel like I have anything to write about. I have questions, not answers, and recently I've been completely content with merely observing things. I have not had, as my girlfriend's father puts it, 'analysis paralysis'. However, I have an inkling that writing is an important part of reflecting and processing. Often it's the self-observations I've journaled about that really stick with me. The books I've written papers or conversed about are the ones that are really full figured. I have a lazy tendency to read something, consider it just long enough to have a single thought about it, and then throw it flippantly into the recesses of mind. Not surprisingly, these far-flung seeds do not fall on responsive soil and the consequence is a general lack of many convictions or ideas I consider worth writing about! I don't write because I'm not inspired, but I remain uninspired because I don't write.Do not expect a smooth transition here, ye breath-bated expectant adorants. To exhaust my knowledge of physics, forming chaos into order requires a skill I do not possess, but I hope that a blog that gets in motion will tend to stay in motion. Work with me, and let's try to get through this together.Upcoming.....some reflections on a recent sermon, and perhaps some essays on beliefs I do hold strongly. I wish I didn't sound like every blogger ever.
