Isaiah 32-35 / James 2
I am back. My faith was about to flatline. My life was kind of going in a bad direction. Ministry burnout, family burnout and just an overall lack of joy for life. I simply was not as close to God as I should/could/needed to be. My faith was not showing the action that I was a free person, a redeemed person, a person whose life is not bound, but a person who is free. A person who is fully alive.
But I am back. I am back to my quiet time. I let it slip, and so many things slipped along with it. It has been over a month, and the spiritual drought has intensified. My family has recently gone through a time of renewal, and reaquaintance, therefore I can no longer neglect the quiet time that I am desperate for.
I need you who are my friends to hold me accountable to my quiet time. I don’t want that sloppy-ness to happen again, and I know that it will if I am not in the word. Hold me up. Keep me here, and bug the crap out of me when I am not reading and posting.
Demus and Emmett, thanks.

strange coincidence, I had a dream last night that I came to your house and you looked kind of tired and I asked what was wrong and you said you just hadn’t felt good for a long time, maybe you were sick, but now you were feeling much better.
and I will bug you, if you insist

Wow! An invitation to bug you!!! ALL RIGHT! I will most def be bugging you about staying in the word. This little sister really enjoys bugging her big brother!!! Glad you are back on track, will be praying for your continued restoration. Thanks for being so honest with us all, that kind of transparency takes a lot of courage.

Now, I feel guilty…because I was going to send you some smart-alec message about being too lazy to blog…but then I thought that maybe you were just too busy…I hope you sincerely got some rest and rejuvenation…burn-out can come in any aspect of our lives and we all need a break from time to time…don’t be afraid to call a “time-out”…your friends and family will understand…like Abbey, kudos for your honesty!
You rock, Dog!
