I didn't mean to . . .

Dear Mr. Theule,

It has come to our attention that it has been in excess of one month since you have posted a new topic on your blog. Please be advised that you are violating rule #1 of blogging, which, if you refer to Article II, Section 10.3b states: "If you are going to bother starting a blog, you better keep up on it." I understand that your brother is also under investigation for the same violation, and while we understand that many things are genetic, we fear that DNA analysis will do nothing to alleviate you of your duties in this matter. We trust that you will do the right thing and avoid further penalties.

Sincerely,

The Blog Police

I didn't mean to take a month plus break from blogging. It just sort of happened. The Christmas season was busy and I was trying to be a "present" husband and dad, as well as a pastor. Then we went on vacation and now its been hard to start back up for some reason. Blogging is a discipline and a habit and I think I fell out of the habit. So much has happened and so much is happening it's hard to know where to begin.

So let's see if I can find the mojo again.

How are you? Are you still out there or have a lost all my readers. Does it matter? Is this for me or you? (You can tell I am still in my vacation musing mode.)

We had a great Christmas season together as a church. (Check out the Grace Flickr Site to remember!) Our family had a terrific time away. I'll try and share some more about it. The new year is upon us, which offers us a fresh start and a new beginning.

Are you praying during this 2008 week of prayer? Are you beginning again? It's not to late to start. It's never, too, late to start. We've had some good times of prayer in our morning and noon gatherings. I know Growth Groups are focusing on prayer this first week of their meeting as well. Let's pursue hard after the Lord together and individually. Just do something.

Isn't God graceful toward us? He loves us to seek Him out and He is always there standing on the porch when we do. Go for it.
