To those who step foot (or IP address) on this blog, welcome to The Diakonos Musings.
This is the personal blog of the cultural apologist/music critic Austin Gravley (yours truly). My main blog, Another Ascending Lark, is currently on hiatus for reasons you can read here. I created this blog because, between Another Ascending Lark and the Christian Apologetics Alliance blog (where I serve as an editor and monthly contributor), I have no outlet for personal writing or writing on subjects that are unsuitable for the previously mentioned blogs. The Diakonos Musings is my solution to that restriction.
I have learned from the first time I started Another Ascending Lark and the second time I started it/reformed it (almost a year ago) that I am good at over promising when it comes to what I want to write about. I will not be setting any expectations here. I will write about whatever I want, whether its on cultural issues, theological topics, personal stories - I make no promises about what to expect and what not to expect (or when to expect them, for that matter). Unlike Another Ascending Lark, I will not be making a Facebook page or a dedicated Twitter for this blog (although I will definitely be tweeting new posts from my personal account @AALblogAustin). On the sidebar to your right is an email subscription option for all you email lovers. Really, if anything, this is my informal, deadline-less writing outlet that is subject purely to my whim and wit as to what I want to say.
So, now that you have taken up precious seconds of your life to read this brief little introduction, I would invite you to look around - but alas, there is nothing to look at! All in good time. For now, although Another Ascending Lark is on hiatus, the posts there are still viewable, readable, and, therefore, consumable. Obviously if you found this blog because of the hiatus announcement, you probably knew that already, but if you didn't…well, now you know. In the mean time, I wish you all a Happy New Year and a good Monday!
