Of assignations and predilictions

I took the wife to dinner last night and pondered that there are times when I get the urge to write on a topic of immediate importance to me. With this bee in my bonnet I crank up the blog editor and get to writing a few quick sentences only to come upon a pause in my thinking. This pause is usually where I read over what I've produced so far and weigh its worth. The vast majority of times the strong desire to write on some topic proves to have been merely cathartic, but sometimes the topic meets with my requirements (not ad hominem, nothing so novel as to disagree with patristic sources, not so esoteric as to serve to stroke my ego) and I forge ahead. Even then, while waiting for further reflection, some things sit in the unpublished queue until they are covered in a layer of dust and fade into obscurity.

While I don't plan to immediately start animating undead posts, I do hope to put in a little more original content. Hopefully, some of the lurkers out there will throw a few comments my way.
