For the past 14 months, I have succeeded in spending time every week conveying my spiritual thoughts through writing on this platform. For the most part, I think it’s been a great way to spend time with God, while recounting things I’ve seen, experienced, and learned.
These forays into the mind that directs the fingers have also been a source of forced self-reflection. Behaviors, reactions, and internal self-talk are examined. Laser pointed beams reveal shortcomings while I struggle to live (well lean towards is a better description) a Christ-like life.
But as of late, it seems I’m becoming a bit overloaded with my own advice. It might well be that my current work-life is oppressive. Maybe some of this is generated because this season of the year creates long stretches where making the trip back home is impossible. Perhaps there’s some exhaustion playing around the corners of daily life.
An exploration of what it means to "live in Christ" from the viewpoint of a regular, non-theologian guy just trying to make sense of it all. Maybe it's about being aware. Maybe it's about forgiveness toward others and myself. Maybe it's about love for others - and myself. Maybe it's about trust and putting God first. Maybe it's about all these things - and maybe these things only scratch the surface.
