Blog Direction

I've been thinking recently about my blog and how it should function. I want my posts to be original and of high quality, which means spending some time thinking through, researching, and editing posts. And I also want to post on a regular basis, more so as a practice of discipline than anything else. I've realized I'm a pretty lazy person and need to do some things about that. So, this blog will hopefully be an exercise in discipline.

So, starting this week, I am going to try and post a quality blog post every Friday, usually relating to emerging church, theology, youth ministry, or something exciting like that. I may post random things in between my Friday posts that are not exactly "substantial" posts, but will keep things fresh.

We'll see how this goes.

3108: Blog Day

I've been trying to come up with a good day to start posting again (in addition to finding the proper motivation). Since graduating in May, I haven't had a chance to do much writing, and I've been missing it noticeably. So, blogging is a good avenue for me to hopefully keep my writing skills sharp. I guess there is no better day to begin posting than on "Blog Day." From Jason Clark:

"Sometime in June 2005 Israeli blogger Nir Ofir had a realization: the date 3108 (or August 31st) looks suspiciously like the word “Blog.” He also wanted to do something about the fact that despite the notion of blogging being something available to so many, what happens is a few people link to the same blogs, all the time, and most new blogs never get an audience.

Just as church circles are self referencing, blogging is largely the same. So Nir started Blog Day on 31st August 2005."

So, here are my five blogs to reference (a day late), even though no one will likely read this post:

David Fitch: The Great Giveaway
Dixson Kinser: So Indie It's Embarassing
A Youth Pastor
alastair.adversaria
Dan Edelen: Cerulean Sanctum
