So, a blog

I’ve decided to make a disciplined effort to blog on a regular basis. There are a few reasons for this: I have to keep a daily journal at General Conference for my “General Conference Study Trip” course at Candler/Emory, I am opinionated, and I need to get over my fear of making public written statements. In the past blogging has been unsuccessful because I was uncomfortable having my thoughts out there for everyone to see. I didn’t want to be seen as foolish or wrong. That isn’t going to cut it any more.

During General Conference this is going to be contain my reflections and thoughts about each day. After General Conference it will contain my thoughts about life, education, Church, etc.

The title is a reference to the song “Mad Mission” by Patty Griffin.

It’s a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It’s a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
sign me up

For me, it speaks to the vocational journey that I’m beginning, and the nature of life in general. The title, like everything about this blog is subject to change.

I’ll post an introduction here in a few days.
