to blog or not to blog...

“The routines of life distract us; our own pursuits make us oblivious; our anxieties and sorrows, unmindful. The beauties of the familiar go unremarked” (Lament For A Son, Wolterstorff). I forget to look even the most seemingly trivial of beauties in God’s creation. Rather than embracing the ordinary I get caught up in myself and fall short in loving and appreciating the beauty that can be found in the world around me. And beauty is what it’s all about. So I will write. This blog will be an exercise of creative faith. It will be a collection of rambles that try to grasp the fringes of something eternal. Of something that warms the heart and stirs the blood.

wow, i tried to read one of wolterstorff's (sp?) books once, "divine discourse". yeah, i was too dumb for it. i asked dr.szabo about it and she was like, "yeah, it's good". love him though.

and i applaud your creative efforts.
