Well, people, it’s your friendly neighborhood Ben, back for a visit. I actually had to reactivate my account to post this, so I hope everyone appreciates this.
This is, actually, my first post of the new year, and strangely enough, I feel like it really hasn’t been all that long since I’ve posted, but hey…I get the message, thanks to Jay and Brooke Sellers.
So, here’s what’s changed in my life since you’ve last been here:
1.) I’ve started looking for a house to buy. Woot.
2.) I’ve made great strides in my process of “inner healing” (thank you Living Well), or as we call it over at Elevate: “the inward journey.”
3.) I’ve started getting really serious about learning guitar. My chord library is now up to about ten chords and I’m really excited. I lead worship from guitar at the small group bible study I attend a couple of weeks ago and I was happy to find that I “didn’t suck.” (Thanks to Jessica Snyder for that glowing accolade.)
4.) The spiritual kick that I’m on now (and have been for the last few months) is twofold:
A.) That God is seeking to release a devastating revelation of his love that will blow those who encounter it away.
and
B.) The aforementioned love of God is breaking the spirit of fatherless, the orphaned posture that has attached itself to this generation.
That’s about it. Hopefully, I’ll get some more inspiration and toss you guys a few more bones (”you guys” being Brooke Sellers and Kevin Eades, quite possibly the only people on Earth who actually read this blog.)
I read very faithfully, so that makes 3!
I told you there were more! Glad you’re back & look forward to reading some of that writing talent oozing from you. Speaking of writing talent, I really enjoyed the “Ben H original” last night at Elevate!
Count me in #4
I love the “inward journey”. Its a good way to look at it.
And Yes, Jesus rocks!
glad to see a post. would love to see more!
I thought I already commented, but it’s not here. So I’m commenting again to say I read your blog and am awaiting another thoughtful entry.
Wait, my comments are “awaiting moderation.” Does that mean I’ve been too over-the-top with my comments? Or does it mean I’ve commented way too much? In other words, if I would comment in moderation I would actually show up on the blog? hmmmm.
I just checked the site…you posted this a month ago! I love it when you actually post but I guess you are not in the “mood” to blog.
klunk klunk klunk…

I guess no one is home.
