Returning to the blog

I started this blog as a journal of my activities and thoughts while working as a union political organizer in Denver during the 2008 elections.  It was an experience filled with joys and frustrations, but one that I will treasure the rest of my life.  Once those elections were over, and I chronicled my experience in Washington for Obama’s inauguration, there didn’t seem  much need to continue to blog.  Coupled with distractions of my life, such as building a new love relationship and completing my bachelor’s degree in History at Texas State, I set the blog aside.  The degree is in hand (graduated in December 2009) and the relationship has since ended.

But what is more, the conditions in the country have reached the point where I feel I need to express myself once again. I have been doing some of this by Facebook posts, but found that many of my friends weren’t really interested in anything that heavy, at least in that forum.  So, starting today, I am returning to blogging on a regular basis–maybe not daily, but regularly.  I’ll comment on political issues, thoughts that arise from reflecting on the sermons at church, or anything else that I feel I have to share.  I don’t hold myself out as some all-knowledgeable wise man.  Quite the contrary.  But I do feel that there are things that demand discussion.  And this will be the place that I will attempt to add my little piece to the conversation.

Until the next post, I wish you peace.
