Well, I’ve wanted to blog again. I just haven’t had the wherewithal. Not even sure if that is the right term, but alas I’m blogging in the year 2006. After checking out some friends’ blogs and even talking to them (imagine that – talking to your fellow bloggers), the new year is bringing about transition for many of those with whom I feel the most of kin. Myself – a wife and future to author together. My Retro bro – an African horizon (cryptic is good). A Breather of hot air – new employment for family additions and such. The Slinger of Ink – authoring a script for new life. And on his Way – a name change to the Anthony of long ago. Along with many others, we ring in the new year with a refreshed & renewed sense of life. Though we know not exactly what lie ahead, may we claim along with the ancients “Plans to prosper and not to harm” us in whatever is next.

To keep myself exercising my fingers as opposed to simply my mind, I shall try to write a simple series of reflections on the latest seasons of growth in my life. Though not a comprehensive rope or entirely personal, hopefully the slung strands regarding aspects of missional life will be at least somewhat, half thought-out (even if not at all as insightful those counterparts aforementioned). Here’s a bit of what I’ve been chewing on:

1 – Rustic Pizza: Adult Taste Buds & an Increasingly Broadening Worldview
2 – Start Fresh, Fresh Start: Plastic Cups, Uniforms & Corporate Systems
3 – Jesus the Dishwasher: Freedom & Capitalist Castes from Calcutta to California

Perhaps a public declaration will keep me honest enough to actually incarnate the “blogs I write in my head…”
