Another blog found during a location-based blog search for all blogs in "NEPA, Pennsylvania." Here's a blog from a blogger known as "G" who left the world of blogging for a while and then returned.
The Return
http://g-thereturn.blogspot.com/
From the first post:
After a long hiatus I've decided to return to blogging. Whether anyone reads this or not isn't the issue for me any longer. I'm doing this for myself. Why? Why not?! I have opinions and ideas. Like what is the deal with a freighter that goes missing with a load of lumber on board. Lumber? You really believe that? I'm not sure that do.
Or am I the only one on the planet that doesn't care who the judges are on AI? Seems like there ought to be more pressing issues to occupy my mind with lately. But what could possibly supplant AI? Typhoons? The price of gas? Healthcare run by the government? Can I "win" NaNoWriMo again this year? What's for dinner?
G's blog focuses on Christianity and has lots of reviews of books about Christianity. Like every other blog linked by NEPA Blogs, it provides a look at another facet of the complex, diverse collection of people who live in Northeastern Pennsylvania!

A Jesuit's Jottings
During a recent location-based search of Blogger profiles, I put a stake in the heart of the notion that there are no bloggers in Scranton. There are LOTS of them. We now have a huge backlog of Scranton-based blogs, and hundreds more to check out. I don't know why they didn't show up in my previous "brute force" searches.
Here's one that definitely should have. It's by Rick Malloy, S.J (that stands for "Society of Jesus," indicating that he's a Jesuit,) a college professor and Vice-President for Ministry and Mission at the University of Scranton. He posts on, among other things, Catholicism, spirituality, social justice, the experience of being a Jesuit, and his favorite music videos.

Kopp Disclosure
Another blogger I met on the set of PA Live! this week was Dr. Robert Kopp, Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Belvidere, Illinois. A native of NEPA (he even lived in my home town of Nanticoke for a while!) who maintains ties to the region (his sister does PA Live! co-host Monica's hair!), he was on the show to talk about his new book, I Just Wanna Ride (FTW): One man's ride to real faith, which looks at (among other things) the strong sense of unity among members of the motorcycle community (he's an avid biker) and contrasts it to the lack of unity among individuals who all claim to be Christians.
You can watch Bob's interview on PA Live! here: http://pahomepage.com/fulltext?nxd_id=224532
Bob is a very sociable person - before the show started, he had engaged every person on the set in conversation, and we had traded calling cards. He told me that, among other things, he also runs a blog - a blog called Kopp Disclosure (http://www.koppdisclosure.com/). His tag:
"KDs are designed/developed/inspired/mused/auto-suggested/indigested to make folks think; an especially uncommon experience among Democrats, Republicans, and jingoistic mainline denominationalists who continue to discourage dissent with their ever-threatening thought police."
Check out this blog to see what this very interesting biker / pastor / native of NEPA has to say! And be sure to check out his book!
