Where ya’ been? Where ya’ goin’?

Write. Write. Write.

Must get back into the blogging groove.

Why do the things I like to do take up so much time?

Let’s see, besides a full time job and being a father to my two kids (and don’t you dare forget about the wife!), what’s up?

For starters, I’ve been reacquainting myself with my faith.  Part of this re-discovery is a lot of reading and studying.  Most time consuming is my attempt to read the bible from cover to cover.  I had been reading sections and pieces of the great book as inspiration took hold.  But it has always seemed to big and dense to read all the way through.

Then I noticed that my lovely bible (ESV) was just over 1200 pages.  So I figured, heck, that’s just under four pages a day to read the bible in a year!  I can do that!  Back, front, back, and front, each night for a year.  Seemed easy enough when I started, but reading four pages every night is a lot harder than I anticipated.  Most importantly, the dedication to the big book has reduced my other reading (including blogs) by a significant margin.

In addition to that, I have been trying to improve my golf game.  I’m tired of playing in the third flight.  I don’t want to always be the worst golfer in my foursome.  So I have stepped up interest in the game of golf, with some small amount of progress. 

Now I can at least break 100 on most rounds (don’t laugh), but my goal is to be able to shoot in the 80’s on a regular basis.  As with anything worth doing, it’s going to take some time and a commitment to learn.  But I am enjoying the game now, which is more than I can say for my golf experiences over the last ten years or so. 

So much is happening in our world, and along the Grand Strand.  I need to get back to posting, or else…
