Confession

I have a confession to make. I've been stuck in a rut for I don't know how long, in which I've been so focused on the future that I haven't fully engaged with the present. A lot of this has concerned how I envision my vocation in life - in all aspects: job, friends, etc. And part of my vocation includes what I learn and how I share it with others. And since I'm going to seminary next year, I've been waiting until I become trained and prepared to share what I've been learning, which has prevented me from sharing the process. I have a confession: I dream of writing a book. That's embarrassing to admit because it's pretentious. But I'm getting fed up with myself being caught up in the future. I'm learning new things every day, and I'm engaging those things with people I love every day. So instead of preparing to live life, I'm ready to start living life right now.

I think this will mean more blog posts. It doesn't get the return that a book or article does, but it's present and it's real (haha, I write this as though more than 3 people actually read this...and that might be an exaggeration).
