Bored With Blogging!

I am bored with blogging!  There, I said it!  Haven't you ever just get bored with doing something so you stop doing it?  You aren't totally sure why you STARTED doing this thing in the first place but you no longer find the joy in doing it anymore.  It isn't that it is a a bad thing to do but the fun has gone.

I stopped blogging around 2 months ago because I was just bored with it.  I am still not sure that anyone reads these ramblings from the cobwebs of my brain!  If it is just me writing for the sake of writing, what is the use in that?  I can entertain myself without typing out a few paragraphs about my insights on life which may or may not be insightful.

The other day when I was about to give up blogging forever, a person asks me if I am going to keep blogging.  They said that they missed reading my blog.  I tell them thanks and that I will consider writing it again.  I really think that they are just being nice.  Then another person asks me the same thing.  Is this a conspiracy?  Does this overcome my boredom with it?  Do I see a reason to continue blogging now?

I have met many people that get bored with going to church or even the people at church.  They find that they don't receive one little bit of joy from attending a Sunday worship service.  They find that it is rather tedious to hang out with people from church because they are not fun!  So they don't go.

Then, just when they are going to give up on church and sometimes God too, someone asks them how they are doing.  The person asks if they are coming to church on Sunday because they missed seeing them.  It is that interaction that leads to a quandary: do they continue to go to church until they find a purpose?  Does the interaction with a caring person overcome the boredom in their heart?  Someone appreciates them so maybe there is something to this gathering of misfits at church.

If I know anything, which is often in doubt these days, I know that people usually return to church after their "vacation" because someone made it personal.  People genuinely cared.  Strike up that conversation with your friend who is on "vacation" from your community.  Make it personal and care for them.  And if God lays it on your heart to do this, invite them back again.  Maybe you are the reason they have been looking for.
