A couple of thoughts

First off – came across this church in East Lansing, Michigan that has a homebrewing ministry. I love the fifth objective: To resume the Church’s historical role as making the finest beer in town. Honestly, I’m not 100% sure what I think of this, and I know my SBC affiliated church won’t be doing this anytime soon, but browse the referenced verses in the FAQ and in particular read the tab on “Church & Beer”. Needless to say I’m mostly in agreement, but feel free to share your thoughts be they pro or con.

Secondly, how ’bout them Royals, beating the Red Sox two out of three at Fenway. Take that, “Fever Pitch”! Make fun of the Royals in your movie, will you?

Ecclesiastes 7:3

Sorrow is better than laughter,
because a sad face is good for the heart.

I’ve had a few people comment to me recently that they have looked at my site and seen no entries. Why is that? I really didn’t know – I just hadn’t been extremely motivated lately. As I looked a little deeper into my recent thought patterns, I realized that lately I’ve just been a little, let’s say blah. I haven’t been particularly depressed – I’ve had a great time vacationing and spending time with family, but I just haven’t been feeling very wordy or worthy. And then I came upon this wonderful post of lament from iMonk, and I understood. I haven’t been posting lately because I tend to write when I feel close to God and when I’m “at my best.” If I’m going to be authentic, I need to start putting my thoughts down even when I’m not feeling up. That’s probably when the best stuff will flow too. So I apologize for my absence, and I look forward to sharing again.
