Five years ago I started blogging.

I started out with this post talking about getting in trouble at Biola for having the nerve to say that the Bible may contain mythology. Heh. That was a crazy time. And I was a pretty crappy writer back then.

The past five years have been interesting, both on my blog and in my life. My blog and life have seen numerous transitions. And I am now at a point where I still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up, both on my blog and in my life.

As many of you may have noticed, my writing has significantly dropped off.

I am tired.

Maybe a little burnt out.

I am definitely questioning why I blog?

Why I write?

What's the point?

Over the last five years I have written long posts and short posts, linked to stories and attacked stories. I have written about life, I have written about job searches, I have written about movies, I have written about books, I have written about politics and crime, I have written about justice and the death penalty, and then wrote about it some more, I have written about American Idol and labor, I have written about church and Barack Obama, I have written about community and sexuality, I have written about immigration and war, I have written about religion and Wal-Mart, and I have written about whatever I felt like writing about on any given day.

And now I wonder why.

I wonder if the hours I have spent were worth it (and I think the answer to that is yes).

And I wonder if it is worth spending more hours moving forward (and I don't know the answer to that one).

So we will see where I end up and this blog ends up over the next five years. Because I sure as hell don't know.
