Recently I had someone ask me why I don’t write about “issues that are controversial” here on the blog. While I appreciate the question, I don’t really have an easy bullet-point answer.
Like you, I’m figuring out how to walk with Christ into my day, into Target, into church, into the kitchen and, most importantly, into the lives of other people. I don’t always do that figuring out in a public space, but I share glimpses of my processing here on the blog. Today is one such glimpse.
You’ll probably never read much about the breaking news or the hot topics here simply because by the time I’ve begun to process news, it isn’t breaking any more. But also because that’s not why I created this space in the first place. If I have something to add to the conversation, I’ll add it in time.
I’m slow to process, slow to think, slow to respond. Rather than fight against that, I’m learning to celebrate it in my own way.
But slow processing is never an excuse not to love and maybe that’s my point today, however incomplete that may seem.
I’ll probably think of a better response later, but—surprise, surprise—for now that’s all I’ve got.
