I haven’t posted on this blog for some time. There are numerous reasons for this. One is the obvious—time. Too often I find myself living under the tyranny of the urgent. But there is another reason. As some of you know, I tend toward being an outspoken person (I hear you now: “No! Really???”). And outspoken people such as myself tend to speak not only forthrightly, but quickly. That doesn’t always end well (see James 1:19:-)). So, at least three times I have set out to post on a subject and decided to wait.
One of those is instructive. Something happened in our country (yep, could be a million things) that got people talking. I found myself being asked about it—what do “we” think, etc. So, I set out to write a response. Then something inside said “wait”.
I waited. The uproar I anticipated and for which I was preparing a blog post didn’t happen. It went away. It didn’t need my comment or 2 cents worth! In fact, had I posted, I might well have drawn undue attention to a person who frankly should be ignored.
So, if you wonder why I’m not posting at certain times, consider the post to be a “non post”. Sometimes silence is golden, and God didn’t command any of us to comment on everything.
That said, there will be another post soon:-).
in Christ,
Randy
