“I don’t know if we each have a destiny, or if we’re all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it’s both. Maybe both is happening at the same time.” – Forrest Gump
I’m trying to discover what that destiny is, but today I feel like I’m riding that feather on the wind. In college one of my professors described the disciple as a person in a sailboat, and the Holy Spirit is the wind that moves him. He can tack and jibe all he wants, but without that wind, he’s not going anywhere. The last few months have felt like I’m stuck in the doldrums praying for the wind. Rather than bring that frustration to this blog, I’ve kept it inside. I haven’t felt particularly inspired to post. I have about eight or nine drafts started and saved, but none are ready to be posted. I have a lot of things I’d like to study; some things are for personal growth, some are for personal projects, and others are to help me professionally.
So I’m out for a while. Lent seems like a good enough reason to take a break. While I’m gone I hope to regain focus, settle some plans, and maybe even finish a few projects. I’m off Facebook and Twitter. I’ll continue to post at my photoblog, but that’s about it. You can always email me, and if you have my number feel free to call me. Comments will be moderated, and I’ll login to accept or deny them. It’s possible I’ll be gone until Easter. I don’t know. Until I’m back, see you around.
