Hi friends.  It’s been several weeks since I last posted.  In the time since then, I’ve experienced something that is totally novel to me.  Simply put, I felt as though I did not need to say anything for a while.

This wasn’t a case of writer’s block – I have a running list of topics that I want to write about.  Particularly during the season of Lent, as I did my best to empty myself before God and come face-to-face with my own brokenness, I had a constant feeling that I just didn’t need to be saying anything right then.

I won’t attempt to explain it more than that because I don’t want to end up sounding like I’m trying to convince you of a great spiritual awakening or of my personal spiritual depth and maturity…it wasn’t like that.  It was just prompting to be quiet for a while.  As far as I can tell, that time has passed.  So, I’ll be putting some thoughts out here again on a regular basis.  I look forward to interacting with you all again.
