Wordle is such a helpful tool when considering what’s next in the life of your blog. The image above is simply a word cloud of the life of this blog… all 5 years. It’s been several months since I’ve looked or thought much about what this space had been/has become and the unplanned sabbatical has been a good break. However, now it’s time to jump back into this space and find a regular rhythm once again.
While reflecting on what this space has become, I found it was more than simply giving voice to my dissatisfaction and grumblings with the status quo but a very important place for personal formation. It’s here that I’ve been challenged to think further, deeper and beyond the small world I inhabit and instead find a broader thought-pattern and voice. So, without any further adieu, I return to the world of blogging/writing with a better understanding of what this venture has been and will continue to be down the road.
So, here’s to a new start… a new beginning… and a better formation than before.

Dearest Aaron,
I too have pondered the future of your blog. The word cloud picture is quite strange – even given 5 years of some good posts, and some nonsense. It’s been several months since I’ve looked or thought much about what your space had been/has become but the unplanned sabbatical has been a good break. However, now it’s time to jump back into your space and find a regular rhythm once again.
While sitting here in my office reflecting on what your space has become, I found it was more than simply giving your voice to your dissatisfaction and grumblings with the status quo regardless of how rediculous you sounded at times, but a very important place for personal formation, recipes, and the “how to’s” of grilling some good chicken. It’s here that you’ve been challenged to think further, deeper, and beyond the small world you inhabit and instead find a broader thought-pattern and voice and relaize that liberals are nutbags who haven’t a clue. So, without any further adieu, welcome back to the world of blogging/writing with a better understanding of what this venture (Chevy makes a Venture) has been and will continue to be down the road.
So, here’s to a new brain fart… a new beginning… and better formation (really? Better formation?) than before.
Love,
Yours truely.
p.s. I hate Steve Judd.
yea! so glad you’re back!
Looking forward to hearing your voice again (figuratively speaking), Montsy, and hearing about what God is doing in S.F.!!
