To Blog or Not to Blog

One of the uses of Pastor Rodger’s Neighborhood is to keep in touch. Over the last few years, Facebook has mostly met that need. Since this summer when we returned from Ragbrai I have only posted to the blog one time. I am now at a decision point. Do I return to blogging, or do I take the blog down?

Blogging enough to get an audience takes a commitment to writing; it is not as simple as just allowing the blog to remain. In the heyday of the neighborhood I was receiving over 40 readers per day. I was writing several times a week.

I am not out of ideas. I have written about our adventures, books I have read, church and theological topics, living the Christian life, and other sundry topics. I have mostly avoided politics and Mormonism even though my college major was political science and I am a Baptist pastor/professor living in a neighborhood, city, and state dominated by Mormons.

We are in the beginning stages of our newest and biggest adventure to date. I think you will be interested in knowing about 2012 in the lives of the Russells. If you have questions or issues you might like to see me address, give me a holler. I don't promise to address them all, but I might.

I guess you have guessed, I plan to reinvigorate Pastor Rodger’s Neighborhood. Look for the latest posts.

Happy Trails,
Flint, AKA Rodger
