A Blogging Slacker

What's the point of having a blog is you don't...well...BLOG? It could, I guess become a place to journal your thoughts - to be able to look back on the journey. But it's been over 2 months since my last entry. Some people asked me to upload my sermons to they could read them. But now they are available at our church website (www.connectionfellowship.org) where they can be watched and heard.

Life has been crazy. I began keeping up a bit with facebook...in addition to emails...

So what's the point? I guess as I prayed this morning I realized that NOT blogging every day or every week is NOT a sin...so I should not necessarily feel bad or sorry about it. I'm not even sure who (if anybody) reads it. Of course, no one is going to read it if you don't write it.

I am a bit envious of my friend Chris who writes on his facebook wall (seemingly) every morning that 'blog is up'. I know that it is an incredible tool. Maybe I'll take bit more time to invest in it. But God certainly is giving me liberty to not beat myself up for lots of 'stuff' that is the most important priority.

Is there anything God needs to give you liberty about letting go of so that you can focus on the most important things? I have not been blogging frequently...but I have been writing notes to my wife more frequently...of course you can't read those.

Hi Art-
I've been wondering if you gave up blogging altogether. I'm glad you didn't. I enjoy reading your messages & insights, but I'm also glad you aren't beating yourself up over your blog slacker-ness. And more notes to your wife?!! THAT is awesome!

The Lord indeed continuously leads me to liberty from the "stuff" of life & empowers me to focus more on what's really important. He is so amazingly patient and good. Life yielded to Christ is sweet- even in the toughest moments. How good it is to be a child of God!

"Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me Your paths; guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long." - Psalm 25:4-5

Blessings.....

As long as what you're doing pleases you and is not doing bad to anybody then God is also pleased that you're doing it. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good postings. By the way, these best gifts that you could give your better-half might interest you too. Thanks and have a nice and fulfilling day.
