Reflections on culture, faith and the good news of Jesus as the kingdom of God comes to Oxford and Ole Miss. "For Christ's love compels us..." II Corinthians 5:14

Do I dare try again?

Dear bloggers,
My sincerest apologies to all who have glanced at my blog from time-to-time OVER THE PAST MONTH and received nothing new from me.:) I really like blogging but somedays it becomes a burden and I just don't do it.

One of my biggest distractions has been the purchase of a house. Tracey and I will close in late April but it has really taken a lot of my extra time that I might devote to writing.

I have discovered that I feel this mysterious pressure from outside of me whenever I don't write because I know people are checking my blog and finding nothing. It is hard to meet everyone's expectations.

Thankfully, I know you love me anyway. And your love for me in this very small instance seems to be a microcosm of God's love for us.
Whatever the burdens are in life, God's love remains constant. Whenever there are distractions that take away from him and his work, God still loves us, hoping that his love will obliterate the distractions so that we can see clearly again. And at the end of the day, when we didn't meet everybody's expectations of us, disappointed people, said the wrong thing, or feel unlovable, we can fall into the loving arms of a Father who loves us still because we are his child. And nothing can change that.

I think I'll try again...thanks to your love and God's.
