This blog was veering away from it's mission statement and then it's audience expanded to include more than just the choir ;-) I didn't want to stop writing but found that I still had quite a bit of people pleasing in me. So I had to go 'under construction'...and so did the blog. I hope to come back soon giving you plenty to chew on.
I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.
