			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t blogged this week because I have nothing to say.  It&#8217;s not that there&#8217;s nothing going on in my life.  Actually, I&#8217;ve been feeling a little overwhelmed by some decisions I have to make.  But I write this blog to get others to seriously think about life, not to complain about my own.  You&#8217;d stop reading this if became just another blog about someone and their cat.</p>
<p>Recently I was talking to a friend about a preacher we heard, who over the course of half an hour, didn&#8217;t really say anything.  We&#8217;ve actually had this discussion a number of times.  For some reason, it seems that bloggers and preachers don&#8217;t really have a point to make, or want to make a point, or even know how.</p>
<p>Granted, we are an impossible audience.  Because of podcasting, we can listen to the best speakers in the world anytime we want.  The average collar doesn&#8217;t stand a chance.</p>
<p>People like me write blogs everyday, because that&#8217;s how to turn their hobby into a Google Adwords money maker and book deal.  Preachers get up every Sunday, because that is their job.</p>
<p>What if it were okay to just say &#8220;don&#8217;t read my blog until I have something meaningful to share,&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to preach this week, because I didn&#8217;t find anything in text that would help you live like Christ.&#8221;</p>
