If you scroll through and look at the dates of my posts, you'll notice that I'm not what you'd call a consistent blogger. I'm pretty sure there are two reasons for this. The obvious one is being busy. The one I don't want to think about is the fact that, more often than not, I forget that I even have this blog. But that's because I'm so busy, right? (Just nod your head and move on.)
So what am I doing back here again?
In a little over a month from now, Don & I will be attending our denomination's General Assembly, which is a yearly gathering of pastors and elders from churches across the country. There are meetings that the guys attend, to deal with the business of the PCA (our denomination). There are also seminars for everyone, women's activites and meetings, even activities for the kids of those who bring their family. Also, when you've been in the ministry for over 30 years, and you've lived in many places, you accumulate a lot of friends and acquaintances within the church. At General Assembly (aka GA) you have the opportunity to catch up with people face-to-face, either in a brief encounter in the assembly venue, or over coffee, or sitting down for a meal together. Amazing stuff.
So, what's this got to do with a new blog post, I hear you ask. (Okay, I can't actually hear you ...)
Well. I got to thinking that it would be fun for me, and possibly interesting for you, to blog about each day while I'm at GA this year. Then I started thinking that in order to do that, I need to set up a blog somewhere. Then I remembered that I already have one (see first paragraph :P ).
So that's how I got back here again.
And I hope you'll get back here again, too, because maybe this blogging about GA idea will inspire me to blog, once again, about regular life, and about how God is working in my life.

P.S. When I started this blog, my nest was emptyING, hence the title. Now my nest is empty, but rather than change the title, I'd like to keep the title, but just cross out the I-N-G. So if anyone knows how to do that, please send me directions. :o)
