The End…or the Beginning.

21 09 2008

I’ve been pretty disinterested in writing here for the last little while.  It seems a little foolish to be writing an online journal, which this essentially is, and not really accomplishing anything by it.  I get to look at my own writing and get uppity about it.  I connect to nothing, send words spinning off into electronic space without heeding the consequences or the real beauty of the thing, and then close the window for another month.  I haven’t spent any effort on maintaining or developing a readership here,  writing more for myself than for anyone else.  So here’s the crossroads.  Do I continue or do I shut off the lights, as it were.  Who knows what’s been taken from this, who’s been taking it or why.  I’m stymied.

Perhaps a change in pace and design are necessary.  I’ve got, in draft form, an online serial essay that I’m going to be putting up soon, as I continue to write it.  I may be refreshed by doing this, I may not.  I just know that ennui has set in.

Blessings;

Who Do You Trust?

21 09 2008

The final, but maybe the least circumspect question we are asked.  Who do you trust?

When we ask it of ourselves, we may be surprised by the answers.  We sometimes put our trust in the wrong places, and pay for it.  We sometimes expect ourselves to be capable of doing things we’re not, and feel let down when we can’t deliver what we want ourselves to be able to.  When we ask it of others, we may be humbled, surprised, or grieved by the answers.

So what’s the story?  Who do you trust?  Why (that’s cheating, really.  It’s not part of the five)

Who do you want to trust?

Blessings;

Christ-bearer.
