Long silences are good for building tension. Unfortunately for me the tension has been building for a while without me realizing it. I had been getting questions in the last few months over what I am doing with my blog and the Lake-Facebook group “FORUM.” I apologize to those people who have been waiting for months now for either a new blog post, video, or any news over FORUM but it’s been busy. Mostly because of school (25 credits this term until two weeks ago) and jobs (currency is a contradictory concept) but also something else.
For the past few months I have begun a new project that I have made known to a few people but not made public. It’s not like it’s a secret but I just didn’t really want to put it out there. I was inspired after reading an article about children who have grown up with a parent in ministry. Since I am a bonified “PK’ it caught my attention. The emotional struggle a pastor’s kid goes through can be pretty messy, read some of my past blogs you’ll get the picture. A lot of these kids grow up and leave the church because of some of the scars, and they don’t come back. It brought me to ask the question why am I still in church? What was so appealing to me that I broke through my struggles and stayed with the faith? The answers came with an inspiring idea over what to do with them. After talking with my Father and Grandfather, they have encouraged me to move forward with this. I am currently in the process of writing a book on the experiences of a PK. As of this writing I am done with the rough draft of the prologue/first chapter and most of the outlining. I will be talking about some past experiences but I’m trying to be as general as possible, a book that contains ranting won’t help anyone. My hope is that people will read this book and not give up hope on church or even faith for that matter but see hope in it. My hope is also that it gets published to begin with but that's up to God I believe.
Because of this a lot of my creativity has been going into the book so I haven’t really had time to blog or cut any new vids for the group. This process might take a while but I will try to get some new things done on both the blog and the group. Don’t worry I’m not dead… :P
Signed,
The Unsilent Pastor’s Kid
PS. I'm always looking for proofreaders if anyone is interested and no I did not correct grammar in this post ha, ha, ha.,}),.
