I haven't composed a blog since February. Blogs aren't going away- I still know lots of people that have them. I know for me I lost a lot of inspiration, and really don't get the time to think these deep enriching thoughts that warrant a blog post.
The truth is, I'm tired. Mentally, the job I work takes a lot from me, my schedule doesn't really allow me to stay up late but a couple of nights a week, and I have time to just look at the computer. A lot of that time is sorting through people's sharing of Facebook posts telling me to like and share something I could care less about, or something I do like but I don't want to click "Like" because I don't want to be a sheep, or a picture telling me that if I don't share it I'm ashamed of Jesus. Then I sort through a couple of hundred baby pictures (no offense), recipes and what not, and then I realize that there isn't really a lot going on.
When I check other sites (Twitter, news sites), I'm bombarded with things and thoughts from people that are really complete idiots that now have an avenue to voice their opinion.
I'm tired. Mentally, I'm tired and really don't have time to do this much. Physically, I'm tired. With my new work schedule I work one less day a week. But the time spent at home recovering from the four days doesn't lend itself to actual rest.
Ideologically, I'm tired. I'm tired of people being crucified for something they might have said thirty years ago that has no bearing on the person they are today. If you've seen news in the last week, you know what I'm talking about. I'm tired of the politically correct society that demands that certain groups must be bowed to and if you are not sensitive to them, you are not to be a viable part of the culture.
Spiritually, I'm tired. I'm tired of sin being glorified. I'm tired of people celebrating the fact that our country no longer stands for what the Bible says and that the fabric that held our country together gets ripped at every single day.
My in-laws like to watch the news, but I can't stand to look at it for more than four seconds. I'm burnt out hearing everyone's opinions. Facts are not reported anymore. Everything is based on what someone thinks, which is usually wrong, and I'm sick of it.
Ultimately I haven't blogged because I was afraid my next post would come out sounding angry and like I'm a cranky old man. I think since I just put out a post, I've proven myself accurate. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned I'm starting to finally understand the meaning behind the Gaither song "Build An Ark." More and more that statement is proving true. Maybe God wants me for a mouthpiece for Him and against all the drivel in the world.
Take a listen. Who knows, maybe in the future I might blog again.
"Even so"
