I do not blog as much as I used to. I have prayed about it in recent weeks, wondering whether I needed to carve out more time for it. The answer, at least for now, appears to be no.
When I lived out of state, this blog was a way for me to share with my father what I was reading and thinking. I never thought of my father as a "target audience," but we talked about the blog often. He also logged on to this blog in order to link on to his favorite bloggers, Fr. Dwight Longenecker at Standing on My Head, Jennifer Fulwiler at Conversion Diary, and Pentimento. Now that Dad and I live only a few miles apart, I seldom read a piece on the web, mark it, and write it up on the blog the same day.
The Spirit is moving. Please pray for my vocation as writer, father, husband, son, brother, uncle, guardian, lawyer, teacher, and Catholic layman. Love God. Love your neighbor. To paraphrase St. Francis Assisi, "if necessary, blog."

Yes, praying, TQ, and wishing you a very blessed new year. Please wish your father the same for me.
You are in my prayers, TQ. I hope you have a blessed and wonderful 2012. As for the blogging, I would really like to see you keep blogging away. In the entire blogosphere, you are closest to me in ideas and attitudes -- although I don't quite have your pedigree when it comes to actually knowing major conservative thinkers! I think your voice is an important one. Of course, if your heart isn't in it anymore, then you should back away from it. Law practice and family are both priorities more important than blogging!
Cheers! And Happy New Year!
I often try to convince my husband to blog with me, especially since I'm a slow blogger these days. He seems to think that work, family and taking care of the house come before his blogging anything, and I think he is correct.
I enjoy your blog posts, but it should never be a burden or a job, unless one is being paid to do it.
