Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve written anything…or at least anything on this site. Now I could blame it on COVID, the election, or the fact that I now have two dogs. And yes, I’ve been busy with the daily routines of work and family. But if the truth be told, and I think it should, I really don’t have a good excuse. But regardless, I’m giving it a go at trying to get back at writing and posting some content on this site. Hope some of you will follow along.
As I begin again (of which I have already done so once), I hope to accomplish a couple of things. First, my goal is to post/publish something once a week. Yes! Just once a week. Could there be weeks where I post more? Possibly. But if it happens, don’t get to excited. Probably won’t be a regular thing.
Second, I’m going to try to make it short! I’ve always been intrigued by Seth Godin’s Blog. His posts are extremely concise. In fact, his post just a few days ago was only 56 words. I’m not sure I can order breakfast at Chik-fil-A with just 56 words. But nonetheless, I hope to be somewhat succinct with each weeks writing. We will see how it goes!
As I end this time of confession and somewhat renewed commitment, I was reminded of the difficulty for some (me included) to remain disciplined. Being the start of a new year, many probably set a goal to read the Bible through in 2021 and are already 2 weeks behind. Others may have decided that this year they were going to finally keep up with a prayer list and yet they have not written one name down yet.
So what if you are one of these folks? My advice? Pick up the Bible and start reading. Get a notebook on the way home and write a couple of prayer requests. Yes, you may be behind on reading the Bible in a year. So what! If it takes you an extra 5 months, what does it matter? And yes, you wanted to have more than a couple of prayer requests listed by this time of the year. The good thing is that you have begun.
So I guess my encouragement is this: It’s really okay to begin again, again. If not, then there’s no sense in me to keep writing!
