So lately I've been battling a severe case of writers block, I'm fighting it, but I'm being about as successful as I would be swordfighting a brick wall.
Usually I draw biblical parallels and lessons from the things that are going on in my life or things that I do. Like last year I went rock climbing and talked about "letting go" and how that applies to climbing. Remember? Well, you have no idea the amount of brain wracking and mind bending I've been doing trying to continue that way. My life is different now and I don't exactly do anything exciting, just work, clean, help with the farm, try to stay strong, not exactly riveting or inspiring stuff. I'm drawing a complete blank on how any of this can be applied to anything sword or rose. And I try to think of everything, and I mean everything. Like today I was feeding the snake at work and as I watched it eat through the glass it started trying to attack me.
"Now how can I make a blog post about that?" I say to myself.
"Well," the theological side of me says, "snakes are like sin, we feed it but it still isn't satisfied and it always comes back to bite us".
"Wow," the imaginative writer side of me puts in, "that is the most clique metaphor, I've ever heard." The subject was immediately dropped by both Myself and I.
And last week, I watched as our goat birth 3 precious little babies. After the initial "baby rush" my default blogger said, "Oh great! You have some real blog material here, you could draw so many ideas from this."
"Like what?" I asked doubtingly.
My theological side piped up, "I know, you could write about how as Christians, the moment of our salvation we are born again a new creature!"
"That's a good idea!" Me, Myself, and I all agreed.
Four sentences later, I had nothing else to say, I just couldn't expound upon the idea.
In between that, there were countless times where such events occurred in the fairyland called my mind.
What could I write about? Mopping? No, too dull. The adventure of trying to catch aquarium fish for customers? No, zero theological implications. Spring cleaning? No, too obvious. My opinion on the "Hunger Games"? Too complicated.
My struggle to find blogging material? Bingo. Oh snap.
