Over the course of the summer, with the non-stopped pacing… The Ramblings lost it’s way. It lost it’s teeth.

Well, I’m here to tell you that I’m back, baby, with a vengeance. The coffee is kickin’. I’m awake. And let the rants and rambles return!

So, hello again…

Brian posed an amazing question to me:

“Hey Stuart. I’ve read about all the political bloggers who get together for “conventions” and gatherings. Ever heard of youth ministry bloggers doing the same?”

Let’s do this baby. I’m game to put something like this on. Heck, I’d even host it (if anyone wants to visit the scenic Pacific Northwest).

Anyone else want in?
