I Blog for Rich

So ... I fell off the blogging bandwagon ... hard. Sure, I could tell you about how busy I've been lately and recount in painful detail all of the things that have pushed blogging from the back burner off the stove completely, but I won't. I will simply say that I'm ready to get up, dust off, and try again.

Why?

Because I blog for Rich.

See, Rich is leaving tomorrow for a long-term mission project in Africa. Even though we haven't lived in the same state for years, something about him being that far away for that long has motivated me to renew my commitment to blogging. Not that anything I have to say is so profound that it will instantly quell any feelings of homesickness Rich is sure to have in the coming months. But perhaps some random rambling of mine will make him laugh and serve as a little piece of home for the moment.

And I challenge my fellow bloggers wallowing in the dust left by the blogging bandwagon to do the same! I guess you could say I'm "throwing down." :-) Let's all blog for Rich (and Maya, Chris, Kathy, Matt, Josh, Becca too) so we can stay connected while worlds apart.

Safe travels and Godspeed!
