I just realized that my last post was from mid-December. Did anyone wonder why I’d dropped off the face of the earth? Well, mainly it was due to my kids being home for Christmas vacation. We kept ourselves busy with board games, Christmas movies and decorating gingerbread houses and the like. Somehow blogging just didn’t fit into that schedule. But my kids have been back in school for a few weeks… so what’s going on? Well, I’ve got to admit, I’m having trouble putting together any interesting thoughts. I am chin-deep in edits on Shaken, so that’s caused me to be a bit preoccupied. I could blog about that, but I’ve done that so frequently lately, that’s I’m starting to feel like I’m whining.
So, since I can’t come up with any cohesive thoughts, here are a few random ideas that my disorganized mind has been pondering this week.
1. I’m so glad God doesn’t give up on editing ME. I am such a work in progress and I am thankful that He doesn’t just throw up His hands and say, “Enough! I’m tired of dealing with you.”
2. I started a new Beth Moore bible study today on the book of Revelation. I loved how she compared the symbology of Revelation to God using a flannelgraph to explain concepts that we just can’t wrap our finite minds around. God using flannelgraph. That makes me smile.
3. If God, the creator, was an artist — Jesus was the ultimate storyteller (Another idea from Beth Moore). He explained God’s Kingdom using parables. How better to keep presenting God’s message to our world than through fiction?
So, what have YOU been pondering this new year?
