Getting back in a (different) saddle

Well, I'm back.  It's been nearly a year and a half since I posted.  I quit writing because I ran out of things to say.  My wife would laugh at that and kindly point out that's not possible.  I also quit because I "got busy".  It's all too easy to drop something that is important if it isn't urgent.  I'm writing again because as a parent I need a continual reminder that the most important things in my life are the ones that don't scream for attention.

My son is nearing his 2nd birthday, and his blog has half of the traffic that this blog has.  This encourages me, because it makes me feel like someone is listening and perhaps benefiting from my voice.  It is work to put value into this blog, and it can get tiring if no one is listening.  At the same time, I feel called to put my time into a blog with a different emphasis.

Kristen and I believe the scriptures, and we read them as guides for our behavior.  As such, we see a storm coming from our society's poor decision making.  I am going to be putting my writing efforts into a new blog, focused on the topic of how to create a household that will weather the storm better.  I am kicking off prepareforthestorm.blogspot.com tonight.  I will still post here when appropriate, but please check the other blog out when you get the chance.
