I have been very active in other areas of social media and interaction. Twitter has been my main form of communication in that arena. There is just something about being able to share brief thoughts quickly that has been appealing of late. The ability to see an article I like, share it with my followers with a brief comment, without having to sit down and write a blog post has fit in with everything else that I have been up to. You can find me on Twitter at dickster1961.
I have also been doing a lot of reading lately. My Kindle is by my side constantly. I make it a point to read during my lunch breaks at work and in the evening. There have been so many free and bargain books that I have downloaded from Amazon that I have really enjoyed. Mostly, I am reading theology and Christian living, but I am also enjoying books by Brad Thor and James Rollins.
Last year, when it became apparent that Mitt Romney was running an ineffectual campaign and that Barack Obama was going to get re-elected, I made the decision to cut back on my consumption of political news. I instead decided to pursue things of a more spiritual nature. Now, instead of listening to conservative talk radio like Sean Hannity, I am listening to Family Talk Radio and pastors Michael Youssef and RC Sproul and their radio programs.
Just before the election, I made it my goal to read through the Bible in a year. I have read the entire Bible in the past, but not as part of a dedicated reading plan. I downloaded the Bible App from YouVersion on my tablet and used one of their Bible in a year plans. I am happy to say that I actually finished reading through the Bible in about 9 months. If you want to read the Bible, a highly recommend the YouVersion app.
Still, I have neglected this blog for too long and it is time for that to change. About a month or so ago, one of my old blogging buddies from the Adgitize days sent me a message through Twitter to check up on me. I assured him that I was alive and well. He also helped me to work through an unnatural links penalty from Google. You can find a link to his website Ask the Blogster in my blogroll.
So, I hope to be updating this blog on a more regular basis. I don't think that I will ever get back to updating nearly everyday like I did when Adgitize was up and running, but I do hope to update it at least two or three times a week going forward. I also have another project that I hope to start soon which I will share here when it is up and running.
I wondered where you'd gone. Glad you're back, even if only in a limited way.
ReplyDeleteI have been missing for most of the summer as well. Like you, I just got distracted by other things.
