everything new

by

i love starting from scratch…i don’t know if its somehow attached to the imago dei, the way i reflect the image of God, and He being one who creates from nothing, but I love starting new.

of course i don’t really have the ability to create anything from scratch, so in that way, i really don’t reflect the imago dei.  none of us really create from scratch.  everything comes from somewhere.  every idea, no matter how ingenious, comes from someone or something that came before.

even our very beings|personalities|gifts all that we are and have are really a product of those around us and those before us.

as emily, titus, and i start on this new adventure of church planting and transitioning from life in czech to life in america, i find myself wanting to start anew.

part of that starting anew will be expressed through my cyber-presence.

a new blog theme.
a new twitter handle (nathanbhughes).
a new instagram name (nathanbhughes).

i leave my old blog theme (reality czech), twitter and instagram handles (micczech1212) behind.  there is something refreshing, but equally sad about leaving that part of me.  its exciting to start new and re-create.  but, of course i can never really leave micczech1212 behind.  who i am now is because of who i was in czech|the people who shaped me|the experiences there.  i am never really starting over.

so, while i start anew, nothing is ever really new.

i am czech.
czech is me.

but as we move towards church planting in portland, i start fresh as nathanbhughes, but always remain nathan|micczech1212|hughes.

here we go again

by

well, its that time of year again…the time of year that i swear that i will provide content on my blog.  the hope is that this is a place where i can consolidate all of my interests in one place and hopefully find time to write as well.

the last two years have been spotty at best, but every holiday season i have managed to provide you with my ‘best of’ series. and this year will be no different!

changes

by

i’ve continued to tweak how i do my blog…thanks for your patience.

the big changes is that i’m getting rid of my pages (except for the about page).  i’m realizing that i’d rather just have a stream of posts with certain posts being regular (instram-ificaion on fridays & 10aday on sundays).  i’m also just going to post books, music, and pictures in the regular stream of posts.

i think i’ll like that better.

hello again.

by
so, i’m back.
there have been a variety of reasons for not blogging over the past seven months:
_ didn’t renew my web domain and didn’t have the money to activate it
_ lack of creative energy
_ laziness
i’ve had lots of thoughts during my hiatus and many gigs of photos, so i’m looking forward to getting back to sharing with you.
additionally, i’m still working to navigate all the nooks and crannies of  wordpress, so you should expect some changes over the weeks to come.
for now, though, there are a few features to check out:
_ pic of the day(s): this is a space to present my photos (old and new)
_ music: what i’m currently listening to
_ books: what i’m currently reading
_ about: a snapshot of who i am
