Why I Haven't Posted
Hello again. To both of you out there, my apologies for being gone so long.
I was admonished by a good friend the other day for not posting. So here ya go, big guy.
See, the problem is that I had been using this as a journal to write about what I'm learning, what I see God doing in and around me. I have a dozen "draft" posts ready to go, just... unfinished. But recently, I have been deep in the application process with a missions organization we all know well. And it's not easy. Not the paperwork, but negotiating and building a relationship between two parties (the organization and my family) who may not fully agree on everything. Most issues on which my wife and/or I hold differing views are nonessential, and are correctly viewed as nonessential by both parties. But some issues, apparently, are more essential than I thought.
Forgive me if I am less than forthcoming. I don't want to complain about this organization or my experiences with them, because for the most part my experiences are positive. God is doing some amazing things through this group, and I am confident that I am doing the right thing now. But politics runs deep here, and I don't want to jeopardize my relationship with this organization by blogging. Especially by blogging.
So essentially, I haven't been posting because I have been censoring myself. I'll try to find ways to stay active that are less controversial. Until then... peace.

Publius,
Glad to have you back posting. I pray that God's will be done in your family's life. There are other options out there, maybe not as desirable, but they are there.
Thanks, man. I appreciate you in many ways.
