You may have noticed a long break in my blog.  You may have wondered why this is true.  And, in part, it has to do with words.  It is one thing to tell stories and another thing to live your life.  And this can be confusing when you tell stories about your life.  Your life begins to be lived in order to tell stories about it.  You become a voyeur of your own experience—an exceptionally odd but all to common experience.  For me, this became unpalatable.  I want to live my life not think about how my life can be communicated.  I want to offer myself to God and his creation without thought of consequence, not so I can blog about it.  Over time, I found myself thinking about blogging about an experience I was having as I was having the experience.  And so the break...Just thought you might want to know: if in fact anyone is reading these words...
