By now, anyone who was visiting this blog in hopes of seeing something new every day has left, never to return.

But now, I have so many things to talk about. But will I take the time to do it? Some things on my mind, of late:

• Politics: Sorry -- bored of it. I know I'm voting for Kerry. There is nothing "W" can do or say to change my mind. Still, he is likely to say enough divisive things between now and the election that I will have to comment. But not today.
• Gay Marriage: Actually, the topic I'd rather cover is the focus on homosexuality within the church. Lately I've been formulating a rather lengthy essay in my head. I need to organize it. We Bible-believers are being sold a bunch of skewed half-truths, and I would like to get some of them put on ethereal paper, for my own sense of well being.
• The problem is, it will get to be book length. Because, really, the topic of the set of essays is the modern Evangelical focus on division, rather than union. Gay Marriage is just the convenient leaping-off point. Though the Roman Catholic Church has added another example, in their recent decision to ask pro-choice Catholics to exclude themselves from Holy Communion.
• Choices: I can't figure out why some people don't get this: your satisfaction with life relates directly to the choices you make. Some people need a clear explanation of that. It might be pop psychology, but it's a message many people need to hear, in this age of misplaced accountability.
• Transitions: When your children become adults, there are so many transitions to consider.

Perhaps I can manage these in small chunks.

And yet, I still wonder -- is there a real purpose to it?
