Tis’ The Season

It has been almost two weeks since I blogged. I know, who is counting. Well, I do! The inspiration just has not been there. So tonight, on this rainy night here in California, I thought I would stir up some inspiration and blog a bit.

I am not really sure who reads these blogs anymore. I don’t keep stats like I used to. It does not make any sense to me to do stats. I mean, I am blogging this and not sure if it is read or just hanging out in the blog-o-sphere somewhere. Oh well, I feel like typing on my Apple and maybe I will get an inspiration for myself. Considering that I have mastered the computer industry, working on them and coding since 1985, all this stuff is just habit, and simple fun.

Anyway, not to bore myself or maybe someone that happened to Google me, it is the season to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a big time of the year, the world actually goes into this “numbness” for a day. That is kind of cool if you ask me. So let me wish anyone or someone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We had our church service today and it was awesome. This was our Christmas celebration service and it was really beyond my expectations. I am not a number counter, if you know me you will agree with that last typed statement. Let me say that we had over 450 in the service and I spoke on the subject: “Magnifying Grace”. It is a “Part 2″ in a small series which ensues the subject of mentoring grace in each individual.  As far as I know the message was delivered to each mailbox and that is what I do. I deliver the message and the Holy Spirit does the rest.

I am going to try to do more blogging. I know many people are busy and not writing as much as they did in the past. Yes, I read other blogs, some are really interesting and of course, many are my friends. I like to Twitter but I have not twittered in a long time. I am so busy with the ministry here in Santa Cruz. What a lame excuse for not even typing 140 characters to let the followers know what I am doing. I go to Twitter and read what the people our doing that I follow! So I guess that gives me some comfort that I am not totally alone in the “information” that hangs out there in cyberspace.

The wonders of blogging and twittering can be very interesting at times, but also quite burdensome if you let it become a “job” or a “must do” in your already over scheduled day. So what I am going to try to do is not blog just inspiration but go back to what I first started to do and that is type radical stuff. It is for my benefit. I need to be reminded that tradition really is boring and completely unnecessary in this age we live in now. Jesus was really radical and so was Paul and the boys. Somewhere along the way tradition “bit” hard and messed it all up. I am more myself when I am radical. I sense more of the purpose of my existence when I move in the radical zone. I guess some say that I live on the edge. I like to live on the edge. That is where I really believe Jesus lived when He walked physically on this earth.

Man I have just blogged on…. I’ll be back with radical and edge lifestyle stuff.  If you are reading this stuff I type, thanks!
