Life Down Under

In the absence of meaningful posts...

...there is a reason. I promise. Usually it boils down to one of two things:

1. There is nothing worthwhile to post about.
2. There is much worthwhile to post about.

At first glance, reason #2 seems like a contradiction of terms, but let me explain it this way. I am a "thinker'. A "processer"; and although there are times and seasons and occasions in which I freely process "on-line", I usually tend to process "off-line" - and only then will I sometimes feel the liberty to publish the things that have been happening and the stuff I have been feeling.

The reason for the (mostly) superficial posts of late is without doubt, reason #2. Between this fast and the winds of change in our community, and the movings of the Lord within my own heart, there is much happening now; most of which (rather, all of which), is behind-the-scenes and hidden. It's not that I don't want to share what is happening; it's just that there is not yet language to put into words all that is going on. How exactly does one describe the awakening of the human heart in response to the invitation of the Lord to go deeper? It is certainly too mysterious for words.

So, with that said, I'll grab my chai and dig into today's study....Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5:5.
