Inspiring

Tonight I read through a bunch of my old blog postings - back to January 2007, at least - and it's the most inspiring thing I've done lately. I need a reminder every once in awhile that this life is not really about me. My own words in days past tell the stories of people whose lives have touched me. They tell of my anger at injustice and my joy at the redemption of grace. They remind me of fun experiences I've had, and they paint a clear picture of a life filled with privileges and opportunities.

It was like reading through an old journal, minus some of the drama you'd find in my more personal texts. I think I need to resume my blogging efforts. I'm going to make a concerted effort to write more frequently this summer in the hope that it will cause me to reflect more often and force me to translate my thoughts and emotions into something more publicly digestible. I hope you'll join me for that journey, and I'm grateful for those of you who have been with me along the way.
