On Returning to Blogging: A Thought and Comment or Two 

It's been some time since I posted on this website. With various daily activities, work, taking some online seminary courses, political and social turmoil in the US, my coming down with COVID-19 and recovering from it, trying to build a business--well, my mind and energies have been invested elsewhere, and so my not blogging for a time is understandable. Still, despite all these things, plus the imposed restraint of pandemic and government mandate--the writer in me has been restless, yearning to break out in literary and poetic expression on various topics buzzing around in my mind like a honey bee hunting nectar.

In the past, most of what I posted was of a theological or apologetic nature.  As a committed Christian writer, these continue to be topics of interest to me and on which I will continue to write. Yet in addition to a love art, literature, music and history, since I have been eight years old, I have been a stargazer--watching the constellations make their circuit around Polaris, the planets wandering hither and thither, and a bright bolide flashing through a starry speckled summer sky.  So in future posts, I will examine aspects of these topics as well.

Now, being a longtime amateur astronomer, observing the skies with my eyes--and with binoculars and telescope, too--I must admit that I have seen things in the sky which, for the life of me, I cannot describe by any natural or manmade object I know. Objects, which are aptly described as "unidentified aerial phenomenon." However, many people throughout the world have seen these UPAs and have been at loss to understand, let alone explain, what they have seen. But according to a recent US government report released earlier this month, UPAs are real and worthy of serious scientific investigation. Well, it's good they finally admitted this, and let's hope they'll do something about it.
