It’s funny how inspiration comes
I have been thinking about how I have allowed my blog to languish in disrepair and inattention for almost two months now. As I was sitting here attempting to think of a worthwhile topic, the idea of writing came to me. I have been thinking about writing on my blog for the last few weeks but I could never come up with anything that I felt was a good topic.
However, the other day I was sitting around playing my guitar and I just started writing a song. It was not good at all but I was thinking about several of my friends and how their life is an inspiration. So I just wrote about how they inspire me and remind me that God still answers prayers and still provides us the strength for today.
Other times I will sit down with my journal and at first I don’t feel I have anything to say and then an idea will come to mind. Before I know it I have written a page or two about something that I am dealing with and the theology behind it. Other times I might just spend time in introspection trying to understand why I do certain things, like putting off a paper till the day before it’s due.
I guess it’s all a matter of inspiration. If there is something you want to talk about, you will find any venue you can and discuss it. But if it is per chance a research paper on Ezra 10, you cannot find motivation to begin, no matter how hard you try.



Dear Scott,
Unfortunately you seem to have inherited one of my bad habits, namely putting off things until the last minute. At age sixty-eight I am still doing it so hope you can change your habit before it gets too ingrained and causes you stress in later life.
I really enjoy reading your blog and am very proud to call you my son.
Love you,
Mom
