It has been quite a bit of time since I’ve updated this blog. I haven’t forgotten, but I’d be lying if I said it was from a lack of interesting things happening. I’ve been doing a lot of writing in other venues (classes, preparation for other blogs, etc) which has taken up a lot of my time. In addition, the spring semester has been kicking off, and I was attempting to make the most of my January term class (and relative amount of free time) by spending time with friends. I’ve probably played more games than I have written posts in the last month, but the break was helpful for me. Read more…
I got unexpectedly busy over the last couple of days, so my post in the Incarnation series will be delayed until Friday. Still expect a poem tomorrow (it is already written). Sorry for the delay.

I was planning on writing more now that I am home, but I really just am having a blast with family. Go figure.
I will come up with some sort of a poem for you tomorrow (perhaps on the Incarnation), and then I have a short series planned (including at least two guest posts!), so keep yours eyes out for that (hopefully before Christmas, but no promises).
Thanks for reading, everyone. I really do appreciate it.

Temporarily, I’m going to take a break from blogging here. This isn’t permanent, but at the moment my schedule is just shredding me. Between midterms, papers, assignments, working, picking up a second job (which only lasts for a few weeks), and still trying to blog for Evangelical Outpost when I can, this blog has gone a bit by the wayside. These last few weeks have been the most sporadic of my posting schedules, so I’ve decided to take a bit of a hiatus.
I’ll be back at some point, but I don’t want to make any promises. I may just take November off and come back in full force in December, but we’ll see. Check every now and then if you want to watch for my return, but don’t expect anything (unless I’m suddenly inspired by poetry, but even then I may wait and just save those for my return) for a few weeks.

So, I ended up skipping Poetry Thursday this last week. I did so without telling anyone on this blog, and I’m sorry. See, it just sort of happened. My school was doing a conference for the undergrads, and it gave me a couple of days off (where I only had to go to work and study), so I ended up taking those couple of days and, well, taking them off. My work schedule shifted slightly as well (due to a coworker attempting to attend these conferences), so I did not carve the time to write a poem out of the block of my day that I usually do.
All that said, I’ll be back with a poem next week. I suspect it will be more Epistemology, unless a lot of people e-mail me to tell me that the philosophy poems are bad or boring or something. Then maybe I’ll do something different. Maybe.
Last night I got to attend Man Up, a concert series put on by Reach Records and Reach Life Ministries. The concert was pretty awesome, and a bit unlike other times I’ve gotten to see the Reach crew perform. For starters, there are more members of Reach than there have been previously. Mainly, though, since the concert was to follow through with a movement/discussion of manhood, it centered around ideas rather than artists. You’d end up with 3-4 people on stage at any given moment (for the most part), performing songs from different albums and featuring one person more prominently than another. The experience was unique, but still managed to work. I had a blast, and probably made a fool of myself trying to dance and keep on beat. But hey, that’s what concerts are for (or, rather, that’s what I’m good at doing during concerts).
This week I have two midterms, both in philosophy, so keep that in prayer.
