Red Letters/Black Letters: An Intermission

Well, yesterday we reached day 50. If you have been along for the whole ride I want to say thank you.

And then I want to say sorry.

Because today is not day 51, today is day 1 of a 3 week break. When I started this blog 52 days ago I was 2 weeks ahead and thought that I would easily be able to keep up with a daily writing schedule so as not to fall behind, alas it was not meant to be. After several weeks of going strong I fell off the tracks because, as is often the case, life started getting in the way. There were extended times when it was just me and Henry, which I allowed to keep me from daily entries. Then there were several trips, some over a weekend, one longer which I again allowed to keep me from daily entries.

What was a two week cushion quickly became a 1 day cushion and then a no day cushion. Several days I wrote multiple entries to make up for the lag. If you follow my other blogs you will have noticed the severe drop off after what I thought was going to be a new start to weekly entries. Again, I let life get in the way, and I let my attitude and feelings get in the way. I have been struggling now for the almost 2 months since I stepped away from the pulpit. I find myself languishing. I find myself seething. I find myself in a place I don't much care for.

I have questions that I need to answer, I have battles I need to start fighting. And so, I am stepping away from all three blogs for the next three weeks. Sometime during the week of August 17 I will return. I pray that what I have been sharing has been helpful to you, if it has I hope you will continue to walk beside me during this time away [your prayers would be appreciated] and when I resurface. If you have been using this blog as a part of your daily devotion I especially apologize for the downtime, my hope is that when I return this blog will be the better for the break.

Peace, love, and good tidings to you until the next time.
