thoughts in the new state of freedom

Ok, over the past 6 weeks, I have not been me.  I have not been in a place where I wanted to see God.  Maybe, it came from the place of busyness.  Maybe, it derived from a comfortable place that I had allowed my soul to inhabit.  Maybe, I simply was just lazy. 

Whatever it was, I have been on a huge high recently.  High on life, you could say. 

I have been so happy recently that it is quite odd.  I guess taking the 6 weeks of Greek at Southeastern was too much for me.  Thankfully, I am done.  No more Greek.  Seriously, it is so freeing to see that.

Anyways, since freedom now reigns in my life, I have been spending a lot of time reading.  I mean, a whole lot.  I have read 3 books since Thursday.  Started 4 more and am still going.  I have spent time hanging out with neighbors.  Yesterday, I spent time with like 5 or 6 of them.  I mean, a good bit of time too.  Not just, “hey, buddy, how are things.”  Hour long hangouts.  Great stuff. 

Well, I just want to say that I am back and better than ever.  Very similar to how comic books heroes continue to get revamped for a new series.  Honestly, that is the vision that I feel for myself.

In closing, here are some of the books that I have recently read:
On writing - Stephen King
Wide Awake - Erwin Mcmanus
the Attributes of God - A.W. Tozer

Good stuff.  More to come.  I think I want to write.  I have had a huge urge over the past 3 weeks to write a book.  Not sure where that came from but I want to use it and actually live it out.  I don’t want to have ideas in my wondrous imagination and not live them out.  I want to be like God and “speak and fulfill with my hands.”
