Divesting myself of masterpieces

The pain and the longing,
The joy and the moments of light
Are the rhythm and rhyme,
The free verse of the poem of life...
(Michael Card, "The Poem of Your Life," from the Poiema CD)

I need to apologize to my online community - the combination of being gone last weekend, being in the midst of turmoil at my day job, and dealing with the challenges of preparing to move has just not left a lot of time or energy for blogging. The fact that it's 12:51 AM on Thursday, and I'm just beginning a post - means that I'm just running flat out of time. So I'll try to keep you posted on what's happening here - but I'm not gonna promise any great inspiration between now and about August 5th or so.

And it's not because of a lack of anything to say. I could write about a dozen topics, already sitting on the desk in front of me. But I really, really need to just clear the bed off, and hit it, big time. I was actually starting to nod off at work today, and that's not a good sign.

I am still coasting on the glow of being in Kansas, and some of the powerful spiritual awakenings that occurred over the trip. But those thoughts are coming, gentle readers. For now, it's off to bed...
