Ok, so I finally got this thing figured out again. I had trouble logging in, and then my schedule didn’t allow me to fix that login issue for a while. I know you were worried, but now you can return from the edge of your seat and relax knowing that I am still alive.
And yet, with all those days of absence from my blog, I have nothing particularly interesting to say. No deep lessons that have been stored up. No clever commentary on social issues or current events. No witty stories from my life.
In fact, over the last week, things have been pretty painful around here. I attended my third funeral in a week today. Here at the church, we’ve all been working overtime to get ready for the fall kickoff. There are lots of things to do, lots of people to hug, and lots of work to be done.
And I noticed, in the middle of all this work, that my focus on God was slipping. I was worshipping my job instead of my God. I was mourning with others, but I wasn’t turning that into anything good through Christ. I’ve been so busy and so focused on the job at hand, that I lost track of Who I’m really doing this job for.
I fully intend to continue blogging, I really enjoy it. But I’m not doing it for me, and I’m certainly not doing it for the 2 people who read it. I’m doing it for God because that’s what all of this is supposed to be about in the first place.
