Christian Life

I Asked So Many Times

Why God, why? I am not foolish enough to ask why me? The answer to why me is simple and painful, why not you? I have no super spiritual status that guarantees protection from illness and injury. I lack the required perfection that would exclude me from death and all its causes. I am not as much surprised that this could happen to me as I am caught off guard that it has happened to me. My journey seems to have lacked reason and my plight seems to be missing direction. The pain I have gone through has left me wondering, why God, why?

Gone Golfing

It is winter in Canada and even if it wasn’t you would not catch me on a golf course. Two weeks ago I said I was metaphorically going fishing (see Gone Fishing and I Am Still Fishing) to explain my break from blogging and this week I have metaphorically “gone golfing” so I can explain the latest. I know I said I was taking a break from blogging but I still would like to keep you updated as to new developments in my journey.

I Am Still Fishing

I announced in my last post (Gone Fishing), that I am taking a short break from blogging due to health issues. As you read that post you most likely assumed that I was cutting back on other areas of my life as an extension of what I was dealing with. This assumption was right except for one thing.

Gone Fishing

Well not literally. I don’t like the cold. It’s winter in Canada so “gone fishing” takes on a whole new meaning. The thought of walking away from the safety of solid ground to drill a hole in the ice weakening it just to catch something I don’t even like eating does not appeal to me, even if, as a metaphor, it still holds water, frozen or not!

The one thing you will find when it comes to the topic of décor, something is always in and something is always out.
