So, earlier today I reshared a post I had made a couple
years ago and I started thinking about stuff. First of all, I wanted to
apologize to anyone who’s reading this, who was following what I’d written when
I was posting stuff pretty regularly. I hate when people recommit to making
posts and then never really turn it around so all that I’m going to say is that
my life went through some pretty big, and exciting changes and my writing was
apparently one of the first things to go. I’m hoping to try to post more
regularly but I’m not going to make any promises because I’ve done this before
and I don’t want to be a liar.
Some of you who are reading this know me personally so this won’t be a shock
but, if you don’t know me on the day-to-day, then I’ll let you know that the
biggest thing that changed is that I got married. The wife and I have been
growing together and adjusting to all of the new living patterns. Sometimes the
adjustments are pretty seamless and sometimes the adjustments are full of seams.
Lots and lots seams. We’re still growing and every day we find new
opportunities to learn a little bit more about each other. That being said, I
don’t want to blame my wife for not posting anymore so I’ll blame myself by
saying that in an effort to find more time to focus on spending time together I
had to make choices about where to find the time, and some of that time came
from this blog. And I don’t want to offend any of you but I’m not at all sorry
that I found the time to let my marriage grow.
So, there, that’s the story about why I haven’t been telling my story.
Secondly (I think this is only ‘secondly’), I started thinking about Sukkot when I reshared that previous post about it and I just wanted to say that I really love Sukkot. This is a little selfish since the reason I love this Biblical festival isn’t necessarily because of anything in the Bible. I mean, yeah, I love digging into the Biblical significance of the Feast of Tabernacles (along with all of the other festivals) but I really just love the fellowship you get to have with other believers in Messiah. And I love the weather that generally goes along with being outside during the fall. And, yes, I love the idea of getting out into the outside world and doing a little camping. One of the traditional ways to refer this festival is “The Season of Our Joy”, and I totally, completely identify with this. I’m geeked right now just thinking about it. This year’s gonna have to go a little different, though, than the past couple years and I’m trying to figure out ways to make it just as exciting. Unfortunately, the wife and I have to take our vacation a couple weeks after Sukkot instead of during so we’re just going to have to do our best to find new/different ways to take advantage of this most joyous time. I’m not really too disappointed about the change in vacation time this year, because it’s for a super-awesome reason (potentially, more to come on this soon) but it does mean that we’ll be doing things differently.
There’s really no reason for this post other than to give you a bit of an update and to tell you how much I really love the Biblical Feasts and especially this Feast of Tabernacles. I hope that you’re able to find your way to celebrate our Messiah over the coming week.
Grace and Peace to all of you!
