She's Baaaccckk

Well, I know it's been ages since I've posted here, so I wanted to offer an explanation about that!

Once I got this What Matters Most masterpiece started, I began thinking of blog topics that went off in lots of different directions--lots of which didn't seem to fit with my original vision for this blog.

What Matters Most (you are here) is named after articles I've written for years in various local periodicals. They're usually encouraging and amusing and are aimed toward, well, everybody, the "general population."

Shortly after I started this blogging adventure I realized that I had all kinds of personal things I wanted to share with people--things that frankly, were none of the general population's beeswax. So, I started a friends and family, invite-only blog to share that info. (If you're reading this and haven't received an invite to the friends and family blog, email me so that I can get you in).

Haven't posted there for awhile either. Just stuck. I keep thinking about these other wheels that have been turning.

So here's what I've decided to do. (In my typical Type A style):

1. I plan on trying to post here on What Matters Most weekly --with new insights, encouragement and entertainment, favorite column reprints, and other updates.

2. I'll also post on our friends and family blog (again, email me for an invite) two to four times a week, depending on whether there's anything noteworthy happening.

3. I'll be posting regularly (every day or two) to my new blog, What's God Got to Do With It? This is the message that's been consuming my little mind the past couple months.

What's God Got to Do With It? is my effort to explore the perspective of God on lots of topics and subjects that all of us face. From what I can see, there are a tons of people looking for answers to major issues in their lives right now. While clicking and searching and reading, I've also seen a lot of flaky weirdness out there that could be leading people into really dangerous and deceptive waters.

It's because I respect and enjoy intelligent people and hearty discussion of issues, and more importantly, because I believe God has everything to do with providing answers to the pressing issues of our world, that I'm excited about offering this new blog.
