<p>Part of me thinks I should write something; but part of me thinks I havenít lived enough life to have anything to share.  I think about writing a personal journey, but with the abundance of blogs and autobiographies and memoirs and reflection-oriented books, I wonder if Iíd just add another drop to the flooding pond.  I think about writing a more technical book, but really: what do I know?  And like I could write something and not make it personal:  HA!</p>
<p>What are things that are on your mind?  What are questions you think a lot about?  What would you like to hear about from another person?  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Iíve been pondering the idea of writing a book . . . it might be an allegory, it might be a novel, it might be a short story or a poem or a rambling dialogue. </p>
<p>What would it look like if the pastors disappeared?  Just gone . . . off the face of the earth.</p>
<p>ñ would more step in to fill their shoes, doing things exactly the same?<br />
ñ if they did things the same, would it be because these things are right/authentic, or would they feel like theyíre faking it?  Keeping up appearances?<br />
ñ would something completely different emerge?<br />
ñ would people split between the norm and the new?<br />
ñ would people feel free to engage in something new, a sort of blank slate?</p>
<p>Would people step up, or would church just fade away . . . or at least, the church as we know it?</p>
