Blogging continues to be light, due to increased activity away from the computer. The end of summer brings increased activity at my church in my church choir, demanding rehearsal time with the choir and on my trombone.
I also got into a phase of "blog burnout" I admit, and I wanted to step away from it for awhile. I want to regain a focus on what I want to address in this medium, and right now I just feel too scattered to do so. By the end of this month, I hope to be back in the habit of blogging three to four times a week again. That will be in time to celebrate this blog's birthday!
Our adoption process is now in the last stretch and friends who have already adopted from China tell us we may be going over there sooner than we originally thought, maybe as soon as January (I've been telling people we'd be there between Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day). The prospect of becoming parents for the first time is giving us a bit of stress, getting ready to be a dad (and Amy, a mom). Concerned readers are invited to pray for us. Even if you're not concerned, pray, it's good for you, and good for us too, if you mention us.
Some special anniversaries are coming up:
September 11: The attack on the World Trade Center. May God give peace to the families and friends of all who died on that day.
September 16: anniversary of Amy's decision to follow Christ two years ago.
September 17: Our wedding anniversary! 9 years!
It's also the anniversary of our Constitution, btw, so if you're in Philadelphia and you go to Independence Hall, they might give you a button that says "I signed the Constitution!" We did! (no guarantees on the button, we did it many years ago)
September 28: My first and second blog entries on Religious Left Watch.
