I forgot to mention in yesterday’s short update that I had a guest post on my friend Erin’s blog Dropped Stitches.
Obviously, I would love for you to go and read my post, but I also recommend looking around the entire site. Erin has spent the past month trying to bring more focus and recognition to daddy bloggers, dads who blog, and dads in general. You’ll find a lot of great posts and awesome bloggers. Besides yesterday’s blog post, you’ll also find me kicking the month off with a slightly cleaned-up language version of my post on how to be the guy your partner craves and parents need.
I also have a question for you. In yesterday’s guest post, I mentioned that I could write thousands of words about my thoughts on religion and philosophy and, if anything, that was an understatement. But would anybody be interested in reading those words?
It would be outside the usual scope of this blog, and I have no overwhelming need to write those words (especially since I think it’s important to form your own ideas and relationship with whatever spiritual path, or lack thereof, that you choose), but I’m more than willing to have these conversations if my readers want to hear my thoughts and are willing to share their ideas with me.
To be clear, these wouldn’t be debates. Faith is a large part of this type of thing, because there is no way we can logically know the answers with absolute certainty. And I will not have people disrespecting each other’s ideas. I would be interested in respectful discussions about the subject, and respectful disagreements, but only in the interest of understanding each other.
Let’s make a very unscientific poll out of it. By show of comments, is this anything you would be interested in reading and/or participating in?
If so, let me know. If not, no problem – less work for me – but I would like to know if it would turn you off, as well. As I said, I don’t feel an overwhelming need to do this and definitely have no interest in alienating readers by doing something that doesn’t need to be done. This is purely on the basis of what my readers want, and everyone’s opinion matters.








My good fellow. I'm not saying avoid it like the plague, but I would strongly try and steer you away from bring faith or theology into a strong focal point of your blog, as it can only lead to riotous comments, which will inevitably include such comments that you are keen to avoid. I don't doubt that the majority of your readers are fair-minded, but it will only take one poorly worded comment, one misinterpretation or one fool to ruin it for everyone. Stick with what your good at and with what works. Keep writing, I am new to your blog, but I have read quite a few of your posts and thoroughly enjoy them.
All the best,
KWightwick
