A voice in the desert crying “Prepare ye the way of the Lord!”
Global media went into meltdown yesterday. The royal waters broke. The supreme cervix dilated. Twitter was awash with witty banter. Americans thronged the gates of the palace. The Daily Mail was bizarrely positive about a woman giving birth to a child funded entirely by the taxpayer.
The fanfare around the birth of our future king was remarkable – and I couldn’t help but think of the birth of the King of Kings.
If a guy this smooth can get confused, what hope is there for the rest of us?
I’ve blogged fairly constantly for the last couple of years. Firstly, on my own personal page – mostly about music. Then, at the start of 2011, I joined the writing team of Tympanogram, a cracking US based indie music blog which you should definitely check out, if that’s your thing.
Once I started writing for Tympanogram, my personal blog took a backseat and eventually died out, but I was happy with the writing I was still doing. Tympanogram, however, took a brief hiatus earlier this year. It’s now back up and running, but I opted not to return to the writing team. It’s knackering keeping up with the constant stream of new releases in the indie music world, and I was finding it difficult to enjoy new stuff for its own sake (and feeling slightly guilty if I just wanted to spend a few days listening to Frank Sinatra or Simon & Garfunkel)
So it’s been a blogless few months. And it’s been a nice rest. But I’ve kept feeling a nagging feeling that’s it’s something I’d still like to do. Not music blogging, at least not for now. Instead, I’ve found myself feeling as if I’d like to start a blog related to my Christian faith. Read More
