Three things

I haven't posted in a while and I feel semi-guilty about that. My only solace is that I do post more frequently than Aaron. When I think about that, I feel a lot better. So I am going to try and post something here, but don't be surprised if it the blogging equivalent of a brain sneeze. Not a lot of good will come from it.
  1. I seem to waver between living a quiet life and doing the simple routines of life to the glory of God and alternatively wondering if I am not doing enough to impact the world around me. Early January tends to bring these types of questions to mind.
  2. I talk to a lot of people that to do not have jobs right now and they sound so hopeless. Without the promise that God is your Provider and that He can do anything He chooses, hope would have to be hard to come by. Where does your security lie?
  3. We have had the TV off for about two weeks now. The main effect has been the re-emergence of books. For every member of the family. I am reading two books right now, a biograhy of Vince Lombardi and The Gospel Primer by Milton Vincent. I have also worked a few crossword puzzles and finished them. The change has been pretty dramatic, frankly.

My hope lies in the Kingdom of which I'm a citizen. It is this time that we need to live our lives out loud (to use a much used phrase) to show the world just how different things can be. In the midst of hopelessness - we have hope.

So it's a competition now?? Ok, you win... one of my new year's resolutions is to write more however, so maybe my blog will begin to breathe once again. Besides, all I ever used to do was to post a link to your blog anyway!

Glad to see your blog continue to pop up on my reader.
