Have you noticed? I've become one of those. I never intended it to be so! I'm not sure whether it's a sign that I think things through less now, or whether it is simply that I haven't yet adapted my new routine to incorporate blogging.
I don't think I understand how people like Adrian Warnock do it!
I somehow didn't struggle to find time to blog while I was a student, but now it's altogether more difficult! So, what's been keeping me away from blogging? (other than X Factor which I'm watching with my family as I write this - I know, I know...)
Being an engineer. I'm learning a lot from my three days a week at a local enterprise centre!
Life Church Southampton. Starting something from nothing is hard work and a lot of fun. Two days of my week (three if you include Sundays) are allocated to this brand new Newfrontiers church. It's something I've felt really called to do and it's going really well. At a Prayer & Fasting last year I received a prophecy about God giving me problems solve - not as in trials, but as in maths problems which need a solution to be found. That's something that's beginning to happen and it's a great ride.
I'm loving being a part of the Wessex Region again - it feels like a family reunion half the time. And great to hear that Matt Hosier will soon be joining us in Wessex to become the senior leader at Alder Road Baptist Church, a Newfrontiers church in Poole.
It was my birthday on Tuesday - 23 feels quite a lot older than 22. I don't know why that is! Tomorrow I'm playing in a concert to celebrate the retirement of Ian Smith, who I wrote about in June. It should be good!
I think it's the funny combination of strict routine and the odd disruption to it which causes blogging to be a difficulty - I'm not sure whether to try and push through it, or to consign the contents of the blog to history!

Dont leave us Luke!!!
You can do it! Set aside a couple of hours to really think an issue through and write say 5000 words on it. Then break that down into 10 500 word chunks and you have over a weeks worth of blogging. We love your stuff. Tell us also more about what is going on down there! I have missed your work.
Luke,
I enjoy your news, comments and insights.........been missing it. I hear great things about the S'ton plant.

Hey Luke, I agree with above, don't give up! The world needs Word/Spirit, genuine charismatic bloggers! But I totally emphasise with your dilemma with changing work/home situations and how you fit blogging into it.
I wonder if we should start to see blogging as something we do - blogging - rather than someone we are - bloggers. That way blogging then becomes a format for sharing what's going on in your life and relationship and walk with God rather than become a burden to hang around your neck - and feel guilty you haven't blogged for a while.
Whatever you decide, it's been great to meet you and find so much in common with our passions and vision. Even better to meet you at Brighton! And I'll continue to be so interested in what's going on in your life and church whether you blog or not!!
Luke - I totally understand how you feel!
I've been struggling very much to keep up with blogging while having a full time job and increasing responsibilities at Grace Church Nottingham.
I do so enjoy reading what you write!
