Starting Again...Again

I've made a couple of abortive attempts at blogging, but now I'm going to give it another shot. Some of the reason why is a re-conception of what the purpose of my blogging is. Previously, I wanted to work out my own standpoint in a dynamic manner - since then, I'm no longer so uncertain about where I come down on important issues, and I'm not struggling so much with the theological baggage I was carrying with me.

This isn't a blog about my trying to decide what aspects of my faith have to change in my journey away from being Baptist and towards being Lutheran anymore. It's a blog about my take on theology, out of my own (chosen) tradition, in awareness of orthodox faith, and from my own viewpoints - and speaking to what I find important.

This isn't a blog where I try to post things that I want to develop into articles, or talk about my research in the hope that some hiring committee will read it - it's not a blog where I need to impress anyone. The last restart is closer to what I'm doing now that the original intent is, but I feel the need to distinguish my primary aim.

If I manage to blog consistently for a while, I'll even join some of those Biblioblog Lists out there (this sentence is more for posterity, I entertain no illusions that I currently have readers other than my fiancée and parents).
