Hey, readers -
Each Ash Wednesday and Lent I think about something I could give up for Lent, and in the last couple of years I've also thought about adding something (daily prayer or reading). The only time I've officially said I was going to try to give up something that is detrimental to me was a couple of years ago, when I pledged to give up profanity. I knew it was something I should do, but I wasn't actually ready to give it up and my motivation was low, so it lasted less than a day.
What I'm doing now is not precisely self-denial in direct glorification of God, but I think it'll ultimately be good for me and it does have the goal of reading and pondering and writing about the Bible, so I guess it'll work. I've decided to focus on my book-writing, figuring out how I want to fit in the Biblical passages I've written about before and how much to emphasize them. I don't want to lose this audience entirely, so I will use the Sunday/Sabbath breaks to make brief updates, but I want and need to put my mental energy toward the book. The politically-oriented posts, in particular, take a lot of time so I'll suspend those for the time being.
Please keep reading! You guys are great!
