Why I haven't blogged for a while

Dear reader,

You may be wondering why I haven't been doing much posting of late. There are two main reasons for this:

1) Indolence.

2) I can't be bothered.

I mean, thinking of something new to say almost every day is just too much like hard work. It may seem to you that I'm effortlessly brilliant at blogging, but to tell the truth... WHATEVER!!!!

Anyway, I'll be back sometime. In the meantine, instead of logging on to read the thoughts of a theological monkey, why don't you go and read a proper book? Remember what they look like? Covers, paper, words; beginning to come back to you now is it? Or why not have a conversation with a real human being, or play football with your kids, or take up cake decorating? Do you realise that visiting this blog makes you a very sad person? Go and do something with your life!!!

Exiled Preacher interview

I've made such a splash in the world of theo-blogs that the great Exiled Preacher has given me a special Blogging in the name of the Lord interview (first series here). Some people have been waiting for years to sit in the hot seat. I've only been at this blogging lark for a week and I'm already getting noticed. This means that I'm right up there with blogging Leviathans Byron Smith and Michael Jensen (son of Abp). See here for our little chat.

Linking policy

If you leave a comment, or I refer to your blog, I'll add you to my link list. You will be categorised as either Sound as a Bell or Wobbly and Dodgy, but don't take it personally.

Site Meter report

So far, I've had 99 hits. That's an average of 40 a day. Not bad for a new boy. World domination will soon be mine. Ben Myres and Chris Tilling won't know what's hit them.

A blogging manifesto

This is where I set out the principles, aims and values that will guide my blogging. This, readers is my personal mission statement:

1. This blog will chart my spiritual journey. I hope Sky's the Limit will be to blogging what Augustine's Confessions was to books.

2. This blog will share the fruits of my theological learning. Calvin had his Institutes. For me, the Sky's the Limit.

3. This blog will pass judgement on the state of the Christian world today. I hope that this journal will be a forum for world-wide reform.

4. This blog will encourage intelligent and wise debate. Come on, you bloggers log on and let's get thinking.

5. This blog will be fun. I don't want to take myself too seriously. Stay tuned and you'll soon find that I have a great sense of humour.

6. This blog will reflect my wide interests in the world of music, culture and literature. Posts on everything from Bruckner to Blur, from Hardy to Herodotus, will fascinate and educate my readers.

7. This blog will consider reciprocating links with other worthy bloggers.

8. This blog will be bigger than Faith and Thelogy.

9. All my blogging will be carried out in a charitable spirit, upholding the highest scholarly standards.

10. If you think that I have fallen below my principles, please hold me to account.

A new blog!

Hi there,

I just know that this blog is what you've all been waiting for. I've got views and opinions and I'm not afraid to use them. It's about time that someone shook up the theology blogosphere and David Sky is the man to do it. For me the sky really is the limit. This blog will generate the most attention grabbing discussions in blog-land. There will be lots of heated debate here. Be brave and join in. But be warned, I'm pretty sharp! So, if you disagree with me, prepare for a mighty battle of minds.

I can't wait to get going with some proper posts over the next few days. Stay tuned for the next big thing in blogging.

David Sky
