beeeeeeeeep..... CLEAR! beep...beep...beep...

ooohhh boy has it been a long time... and ooooh boy oh boy has that come across loud and clear in the posts from the previous show (and gmail).

OK, now for the reason... Well, truth be told, there isn't a good one. I guess you could say that we burned ourselves out in the first year, flickered through most of 2006 and now we find ourselves plopped smack dab at the start of 2007. I know this probably isn't the reason some of you may have been looking for or whatever the case may be, but it's the truth.  That said, Sarah and I do feel very bad about 'leaving you hanging' and going AWOL for so long (including Christmas...).

So, this presents us with a few questions that we (y'all too!) need to answer... First, is the CMP worth continuing in it's current or some new form? I tend to think it is, but needs to change form to something easier to produce. Secondly, is there any new or broader perspective that we should introduce such as a side-bar focus on other faiths? The second question is a little tougher as it may expand our audience participation, but sacrifice this little niche that we've carved out for ourselves, not to mention that neither Sarah nor I really know enough to put half-way decent content together.  I, personally, vote for keeping the CMP focused on C and M for the P...but who knows, maybe others want to know a little more about J, I, L, B, or other religions...  (incase anyone was wondering, I had in mind Judaism, Islam, Lutheran and Baptist in mind when I wrote the letters...)

At this point, there are a few truths I know.  First, there's no question about our faith.  Please don't mistake the absence of the show for anything other than a lapse of passion to produce it coupled with a need to focus on our family.  Second, the supportive emails and posts on the blog are greatly appreciated and partially responsible for us wanting to 'do something' once again!  Third, we miss you guys...  honestly, it's like something has been missing in our lives too.  However, this time around I'm going to try to maintain more of a balance in show related activities and family related activities.  Looking back at some of the posts from previous shows, it was obvious that I suffered from CBPS - Constant Blog Posting Syndrom.  Seriously...  what the heck was I doing posting at all hours of the day and night???  loco...  Now, I'm out of CBPS rehab and going to get my feet wet again.

So, what do ya think?  Willing to give the CMP another try?

Take care and thanks for sticking with us...
