I'm Back! Haha, not sure if that's exactly accurate. We'll see.

It's been a couple months since my last post. Lots of reasons why, none of them worthy enough to put in print. It started out as being "too busy"; then it turned into "I've got nothing to say"; then it became "I don't want to write about what's on my mind". Eventually my lack of postings turned into a stubborn "I don't want to post" attitude. And then it became a selfish whine "who cares if I post anyway".

So why the return from the 3 month hiatus? ... a friend asked me.

I struggle with community. I preach it, I write about it, and I talk about it ... but I have a hard time living it. My desire for isolation is a product of "the fall". I recently heard a preacher say, better to call it "the exchange" than "the fall". Adam and Even (and all humanity) exchanged the good of God and heaven for the less-than-good of humanity and earth. So therein lies my struggle, I exchange good for less-than-good.

I exchange the good of community for the less-than-good of isolation. Why? Because it seems easier and safer.

So thanks to a friend who emailed me this morning, and reminded me I am part of a community, I am back.
