drewmoser.com v. 1.1 (or something)...
03 August 2007
This site has undergone a visually slight, yet still profound shift. I long ago ditched the notion that this could be a serious contribution to theological blogging. I'm by no means an aspiring blogger nor a serious one. I don't have the time nor the energy for it and others are more capable than I. Sure, I'll post serious content here and there, but this site is, for the most part, just a fun hobby, a nice way to keep people updated on life and ministry. I've been focusing more of my serious writing in personal journaling (in a moleskine of course), and it's been a much needed spring of life and refreshment as I seek to deepen my communion with Jesus. I still plan on writing some stuff that gets published, but no longer care how often that happens, for what publication, etc. Writing is how I process my communion with God best, and I don't want any attempts for success or status to tarnish that.So, take a self-guided tour through this site again, and if you were expecting a wellspring of profound insights, lower your expectations. There may be some in spite of myself (God's grace is sufficient), but I sincerely hope that this site is a productive outlet for me, a digital journal on some of the lighter things in my life. Nothing more, nothing less.
In other words, I'm giving myself permission to make this blog as personal as I want. If I want to post a week's worth of knock-knock jokes, I will. But I probably won't...
In the same vein, I just did an extensive purge of my RSS reader, cutting about half of the feeds. That felt good. I'm no longer a slave to my google reader (I'm now just a good friend to it...I hope).
(sidenote: Bekah just purchased her first moleskine. I'm such a proud husband)
Ok, off to fun, always exciting, never-a-dull-moment denominational meetings!!!! (I hope I can find some wi-fi)

Our blog has undergone a similar kind of shift. I'm just too tired to keep up with the "hard stuff," and so now I write mostly about television for a few loyal readers. I don't feel bad about not writing about my work, because I can barely understand what I do myself, much less explain it in any interesting (and accessible) detail.
I've discovered the Moleskine weekly calendar/notebook. I used a 12-month pocket version for the first half of this year and adored it, so I picked up the 18-month version and started using that last month. I don't journal, per se, but I do make a lot of lists. It's handy for that purpose.

Well, I've never heard of moleskine so you're just going to have to show it to me! (minus the parts about where you hid the bodies).
And personally, I like a good Helen Keller joke.
