The word on the street...

(nope, not this one...and definitely not this one)

No, the word on the street is that I need to post more often.

I honestly do wish I could blog with greater frequency. Not having an Internet connection at ye ol' hacienda poses the biggest obstacle to that, though I never seemed to blog much in the past when I did have Internet access. I suppose I'm simply a lazy blogger most of the time.

Is that, in itself, wrong? Of course it's not.

Question number two: am I ever lazy in other ways? Uncomfortable answer: yes.

I've often been prone to laziness in keeping my room (nowadays apartment) clean and orderly. I was always a big procrastinator when it came to school. I don't devote much time studying the Bible. Not as I should. Intellectually, it's a priority. It often doesn't translate into an actual priority. Why?

Why do I ever neglect the one source of absolute truth in this world? Why can I quote from memory more passages from J.R.R. Tolkien and Robert Jordan, more lines from Arrested Development and The Office, and more verses from Nickel Creek and Sufjan Stevens than from the Bible: the one true God's holy inerrant word?

I have no response, and am ashamed.

I know that through Jesus Christ I have been forgiven for my sins. I know that I must turn from my neglect and love the LORD in word and in deed.

I thank God and praise Him for providing me with so many Brothers and Sisters in every stage of my life thus far. They have helped hold me accountable, both directly and indirectly. Loving conviction is truly a blessing, though painful.



I wasn't really planning on writing about anything in particular. I guess conviction just seizes you by the scruff of the neck sometimes...
