Has it been so long?
Hello, my loyal readers, friends and visitors. It has been over a week since my last post, and honestly I don't have a whole lot to say today. I find this blogging thing to be quite interesting. It has transformed me in many ways, and at the same time it has given me a new sense of responsibility. I recently put a hit counter on the page, and I was quite surprised to find out that people really do visit regularly. So then I immediately feel that I must produce something on a regular basis, since I would never want to disappoint the public. What began as simple catharsis has evolved into something much more. I am not remotely suggesting that my thoughts carry some sort of significance, but I am now realizing that I am not simply screaming at a wall, or dumping cerebral excrement into cyberspace. No, instead I am slowly becoming part of a community, invisible though it is, and contributing in some unknown way to the lives of others. Deep inside we all have a desire to reach out, to be heard. I appreciate all of you that choose to hear me. I spend much of my day hearing you as well, even in your anonymity.
However, I hope to never simply fill space for the sake of myself. So if I am lacking in some new insight from day to day, please understand that I would not write anything that I would not consider worth hearing. Perhaps this simple caveat would be better suited to my Diaryland site. But for those of you who feel you have come to know me through these ramblings, I hope this puts a bit more flesh on the ambiguous skeleton you have assembled.
This last week has been discouraging, encouraging, and revelatory all at the same time. The details mean nothing to anyone but me. The one thing I hope to gain from all of this is perspective, perspective that can be a catalyst for action. I have realized that while there are many exciting ideas floating around Christendom today, there is still little in the area of action with respect to these ideas. And as you may know from my previous posts, I definately do not advocate the wholesale obliteration of what already exists. If only we can proceed forward with caution, not fear, not ambivalence, but simply the guidance of the Holy Spirit, tradition and new thought, we can truly change what lies stagnant while redeeming the good.
Sorry for the lack of specificity this time. I welcome your comments and questions, perhaps we can draw the invisible community into a closer bond through communication...
