Another Try at Scheduling Posts

There is no end to the making of many blogs, and much study is exhausting to the body.
-- Ecclesiastes 12.12 (slightly modified)
The passion of creation
by Leonid Pasternak
So, thanks to the Lord's rather unexpected and bittersweet blessings I will have more time in the future to write in this blog, among other things. I'm thinking of following a schedule of posting here on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I've tried following blogging schedules before without much success (see here and here for examples), but now it actually seems doable.

The first thing I'm going to do then is break my schedule and post something tomorrow (Wednesday) about dinosaurs and the Book of Job.

Every Day

You're right, I haven't posted too much in June. And here I've promised to finish a series on life after death (and before the resurrection), one on the Great Announcement (aka the Gospel), and a long delayed explanation of the Trinity. What a sluggard!

So it might seem a little foolhardy for me to to announce that from now on there will be a post -- an article, quote, video, scripture with brief comment or what have you -- every day of the week. But that's what I'm doing.

There are several reasons why I sometimes stop posting. It's usually not because of writer's block; instead it's normally because I've never committed to a writing schedule where I have to put write something everyday, no matter how lame it is. Without that commitment pushing me I tend to get buried in a pile of tiny details as I try to get my post just so. Or overwhelmed by a frequent sense of inadequacy: "What do I really have to contribute anyway?" 

But it's pretty much "Writing 101" that getting up everyday and just writing for a specific period of time is what most writers need to do in order to produce anything. I've always resisted doing that.

But I really do need to post here every day from now on. Authentic Light is something I feel like I have to do, regardless of the depth or shallowness, usefulness or uselessness of what I post. Hopefully you'll find something worthwhile.
