Where have I been?

I might as well not have had a blog in April, for all the posting I did.  At the beginning of the month I posted about my ambivalence at getting sucked into the national conversation about the future of the structure of the Episcopal Church.  At the end of the month I posted about a good reason for that ambivalence: the very budget proposal I had spent time and energy critiquing turned out to be a mistake.

While I wasn’t posting, I was:

• Observing Holy Week, Easter and Spring Break with my family (they coincided here)
• Receiving the Core Training for Godly Play, a Montessori-based Christian formation method
• Participating in the 138th Diocesan Convention of the Episcopal Church in Western Michigan
• Celebrating my husband’s birthday
• Reviewing 12 sessions of Holy Moly for Sparkhouse.  (After I posted my independent review, they invited me to be an in-house reviewer… I was honored!)

Blogging has been something I do in my “extra time,” which means that when there is no “extra time,” there is no blog.

It’s May now, and I am attempting to stop thinking of blogging as something I do in my “extra time.”

Queued up in my mental list of forthcoming posts:

• Why I give a #$%! about the institutional church (and you should too)
• Discerning the spirits: What the heck does God want from me?
• The next “next generation”

No promises about when they’re coming, but they’re coming.
