In 2005, I created my first blog, Suspension of Disbelief, to share life updates and my hobbies. As social media grew, the function of that blog was largely usurped by Facebook updates and Goodreads.
In 2006, I created a second blog, Reading Red Letters, to post faith-related content that felt distinct from the general blogging of my first site. While it was fun for a while, I realized that I would need to get more serious about posting regularly and engaging with other blogs if I was going to grow my readership. I started my first graduate degree in 2007, and the consistency needed to maintain the site never emerged.
In 2017, as I was mid-way through my second graduate degree (a Masters in Theological Studies) I decided to retire the previous two blogs and archive their posts onto a new site, Seeking Koinonia, where I might share some of the writings I was doing for my coursework. The concept was largely unfulfilled due to time constraints of working full-time and school, but the site lives on to memorialize my early blogging attempts. Perhaps I will write publicly on theology in the future, but for now I don’t have plans to regularly create content in this space!
