Yo.

There's no good way to start a new post after taking four months off totally ignoring this blog for the last four months.  I stopped blogging for a while.  That's pretty much it.  I'm not sure if I have anything to say right now, to be honest.  The Faith & Art Blog should pick up here again soon (it slowed down after Sam died.)  I've had a few friends ask about it and over the last few months I've been processing the crap we've been through and realized, once again, that I was right all along with regard to the fact that I am nothing without my creativity as it's one of my strongest life-lines to God and my faith.  I just really feel incomplete if I'm not able to create something... anything... on a regular basis.  I'm not sure why I've fought that off and on for so long (maybe because it doesn't pay the bills and often takes the place of doing other, more "responsible" things like folding laundry or unloading the dishwasher?)  

We'll see.
