Month +

Well it has been over a month since my last post. It would be great if I could say the reason was due to my incredibly small amount of extra time due to 60+ hour work weeks, or 5 mile runs in the morning and evening, or the library of books I'm reading, or the extra long hours given in study and prayer to the glory of the Lord. But it would also be great if I could say I take dumps on a solid gold commode. But we all know that ain't happening.

Needless to say none of the above is a reality. The truth of the matter is I'm a lazy bum with delusions of grandeur which paralyzes me to do even the simplest of tasks. Nice huh? And if that truth were just true of this blog that would be one thing. But unfortunately to my detriment and my family's dismay this is true for all aspects of my life.

Thank God that He is good. Without His grace and mercy I'd be even more messed up. How scary is that? One of the many things I love about Steve Brown is his honesty. I remember listening to him teach about something that will always stick with me. He basically pointed out that constant lingering on our failures is a form of idolatry. If we constantly obsess over the fact we messed up and continue to mess up, which is more than anything an obsession over our goodness, then we our idolaters. Instead he said we need to acknowledge our mistakes and failures sure and repent of our sin but rather obsess on the perfection, love, grace, and strength that is Christ our Saviour. We are His and He is ours.

I say all of that to say that I'm working my way out of my pity party with the Spirit's help. And that I don't feel so bad about not posting for a month. One reason is that the guy I linked to Steve Brown hasn't posted for a month either. Yeah I know he is way busier than I am. And the second reason is that only about 5 people even read this. :) Hey fam!
