Unlikely's New Blog

In January 2007 I started a blog called, Unlikely Conversation, with the idea that I'd start to put out thoughts out there about the Lectionary for the coming week on Mondays. I use my seminary nick-name, unlikely, as a starting point and pen name. I like the semi-anonymous part of blogging. In the Summer I started a second blog where I post sermons called Unlikely Sermons. It doesn't get much attention; but I wasn't after that. I just wanted a place to start posting sermons so that they'd be available in later years if anybody cared and so I could have easy access to them later on if I needed from the web and not just a hard-drive. I even started a photo blog with some original images called Unlikely Photos.

I've been blogging for over 11 months now and I'm still planning to keep at it. Over time I included a few postings and thoughts about things beyond the Lectionary on Unlikely Conversation. One blogger, Bobjots, even has my Lectionary thoughts posted weekly as content in his blog right along side daily prayer from Taize and an order for daily prayer. I'm definitely honored, I'm not in that league; but I still want a space to put out occasional thoughts beyond the Revised Common Lectionary. So it just seems logical that I should separate the thoughts about the Lectionary from the banter, babble, and blather that I might want to share on any and every other subject that's interesting.

So here's the first posting on my new blog, Unlikely Banter. Please check out the others blogs if you like There will still be a post at Unlikely Conversation every week (almost every time on Monday) with the Lectionary in mind.
Thanks,
John, a.k.a. Unlikely.
