New blog

I'm trying out a new blogging tool, "Blogger". Up until now, I've just used my web design program for blogging, and treated the blog like any other page. That's pretty cumbersome, though, and I can only do it from one computer - my own.

Blogger will take a lot of the tedium out of publishing to my blog, making it worthwhile to fire off short blurbs much more frequently. Also, since it's a web-based tool, I can update from any computer that's connected to the Internet.

I'm also shifting focus here a little bit. In addition to the general personal and political notes, I'd like to use the blog to kick around the biblical and theological topics that I deal with each day. Many preachers keep a blog that discusses their ideas on the texts for next Sunday...if time allows, I'll maybe delve into that, as well.

As I get the chance, I'll be moving my old blog entries to the new version.

For now, it's time to see if everything works...if you're reading this, my new blog, "Musings of a Young Pastor" has gone live. =)
