I ask myself: what is holding me back on finishing my church story?

I think about it constantly. I continue to research obsessively. But too often words fail to be transferred onto paper (or, more accurately, computer).

Next step ideas pop into my head frequently, but again, too often they arrive when I’m not in a position to put them to paper. And then, when I’m at liberty to proceed, my aging brain chooses to block all or part of the perceived brilliant thoughts/ideas.

I need my 40-something brain function back. Hell, I’d settle for 50 or 60! But I’m cascading toward 75 and there are no brakes, let alone reverse gears, that I can apply.

I am proceeding, but at a snail’s pace, with large blocks of black hole (aka absence of progress) time.

Still, as long as I’m not six feet under, I will not give up until the story is told.
